Adding Job Steps in a Conceptual Object Export Jobs
After you create a job, you can create a job step. For conceptual object types of export jobs, only one job step is permitted. The job step specifies properties such as the job step mode as either a full update or an incremental update, and the source and destination tables.
You can also define the optional parameters, such as the columns to include in the export, the sort order, and filter conditions. Column mapping controls how to map columns from the source table to the remote system.
You can also allocate the job step created to an object as explained in section Allocating Job Step to object.
Note:
If you want to write the output file to an FTP destination, you must set up an FTP location.
For more information about configuring FTP locations, see Administering webMethods OneData.
