An Export Operation represents a batch output interfaces
in the MDM Hub solution and relates to the MDM Hub Instance Layer
or Master Layer model.

Procedure: How to Add an Export Operation
To
add an export operation:
-
Using the top-down modeling approach, configure
the Instance Layer model, as described in Creating an Instance Layer Model.
For more information on the top-down modeling approach,
see Creating a Logical Model Using the Top-down Approach.
-
Using the top-down modeling approach, configure the Master
Layer model, as described in Creating a Master Data Layer Model.
For more information on the top-down modeling approach,
see Creating a Logical Model Using the Top-down Approach.
-
From Output Interfaces, double-click Export Operations.
-
In the Export Operations dialog, click Add and choose
a specific implementation export type, and then click OK,
as shown in the following image.
-
Double-click the newly added export operation and configure
the following properties:
-
Operation Name. Unique export identifier displayed
in the administration web console.
-
Scope. Export scope (can be inherited from global Preferences
or overridden):
-
existing. Export operation reads all
records from the MDM hub storage (including deactivated).
-
active. Export operation reads only active records from
the MDM hub storage.
-
Master Layer Name. Select the master layer to which the
export operation applies to.
-
All Entities. Select this check box if you want the export
to use all entities.
-
Selected Entities. With All Entities cleared, specify
which entities should be exported (columns can also be specified).
-
If you wish to export only a few attributes for an entity,
double-click on the entity, clear the Export all columns check
box, select the desired columns manually, and then click OK to
finish the configuration.
-
Right-click the newly added export operation in the Model
Explorer, select Generate..., and then click Generate.
This prepares the export operation plan that requires only
output steps to be added.
-
Right-click the newly added export operation in the Model
Explorer and click Open Plan File.
-
Add some logic and output steps according to your needs.
The following image shows a sample export logic.
The example above
uses the Full Export mode to export data from one master layer (masters).
Use the Complex Export operation to define individual data sources.
