Use this task to create an Extract Request.
Do the following to create an Extract Request:
- Click from
the main window to open the Extract Request Editor.
- Specify the name of an Extract File.
- Select the type of Access Definition: Named or Local.
If you select Named, specify the name of a
new or existing Access Definition.
- Click to create
or edit an Access Definition.
These
steps are the minimum required to create an Extract Request. After
you create a request, you can run the process immediately or save
the request and schedule it. Because the options to create an Extract
Request and to modify an Extract Request are similar, see Using the Extract Request Editor for
complete details.
An alternate method for opening
the Extract Request Editor is to click from the main window. By default, the last Extract
Request you edited will display. Your next step depends on your purpose:
- To create a new Extract Request, click from
the Extract Request Editor.
- To create a new Extract Request modeled on an existing
one, open the desired Extract Request and click from the Extract
Request Editor.
- To create and store a copy of the current Extract
Request and continue editing, click from the Extract
Request Editor.
