Create Daily Extract Files

You use the Daily Extract files to extract data from Oracle Field Service to store, analyze, and report on events. You can extract data related to activities, inventory, and messages. The Daily Extract function can only receive data structures that are described in this document. To get access to other data elements of the application, you must use different interfaces such as, the REST API. You can use the extracted files for reporting and historical analysis of the events in the application. You can configure the files to be extracted by the Daily Extract report manually at the time of implementing the application. The daily extract files are always created in XML format.

  1. Log in to Oracle Field Service Manage interface.
  2. Select the Navigation button.
  3. Click Configuration, Applications and then click Daily Extract.
    The Daily Extract page appears. The page displays the list of files for extraction organized as a grid. For each file name the list shows the entity to which the extraction file is related (the Entity column) and the fields exported in the file (the Exported field column).
  4. Click Add new.
    The Add configuration file dialog box appears.
  5. Type the exported file name.
  6. Click Submit.
    The new file configuration is saved. When you edit the configuration, you can only edit the file name and not the entity.
