JSON Format Support for Plugin-Driven Extract

The plugin-driven extract batch job was enhanced to support output formats related to JSON:

• JSON Document: You can configure this format to produce either a JSON object, which contains an array of the output records, or simply an array of output records. Whether you extract an object or an array is determined by whether or not you suppress the object Grouping name.
• JSON Lines: You can configure this format to produce a series of JSON objects. In this format, each output record is a JSON object.

This allows implementations to produce files in a common format without custom code.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature, refer to the "Extract Record Processing" topic in the Background Processes chapter of the Framework Administrative User Guide.  Several sections in that topic highlight considerations for using JSON and JSONL format.
