Extract Data

The Extract Process selects data from a source (one or more tables in a database) and copies that data to a destination (an Extract File).

To extract data, you must create an Extract Request that includes the specifications for the data to be extracted, called the Access Definition, and the parameters for the Extract Process. You can process the Extract Request immediately, or schedule the process to run automatically. You can also run the Extract Process from the command line, using overrides for specifications in the request.
