How Bulk Export Process Components Work Together
You use bulk data export to export data, by leveraging export maps. To export files using bulk export, you create a process definition, map files for full and incremental extract processes, and then schedule the data export process.
Bulk Data Export Process Components
Bulk data export process includes these three components:
-
Process name: A name for the export process that lets you easily refer the export process rather than using the computer generated ID such as 100000019897192.
-
Export process ID: A unique, application generated identifier for the export process definition for the export process. The process ID ties the export map with its export objects, filters, and the export schedule.
-
Export map ID: A unique identifier for the export map. You can reuse the export map in different process definitions. For example, you create a process definition to export all the data from the Customer export object. You can then reuse that export map and apply a new filter on the data to create an incremental export, such as data accrued since the last export date.
