Creating a File Generation by Timestamp Export Job
A File Generation by Timestamp job allows you to generate a delimited or XML file for each job step. The job exports undeleted rows from an object. The object hierarchy is not maintained.
Note: | To write the output file to an FTP location, you must first define the FTP connection. For more information about configuring FTP locations, see Administering webMethods OneData. |
