Export Current Process options: | ||
|---|---|---|
Parameter Name | PO | Description |
Mode | mode | Select the export option to define how the file will be saved. Possible options are:
|
Export URI | uri | Select where you want the PRCX file to be saved. Possible options are:
For all options except local file system, you must then configure the remote connections options in the corresponding tab. |
Directory | dirname | Enter the directory where the file will be saved, or browse to its location using the browse button. |
File basename | basename | Enter the name which will be given to the exported file. If you do not want to enter a specific name, you can decide to use the process name itself, with a timestamp to uniquely identify each export file. |
Use process name as basename | useprcname | If selected, the name of the process will be used as the name of the exported file. It is recommended to add a timestamp as a suffix or prefix to uniquely identify the file. Otherwise your export file will be overwritten each time you compute the task. |
Add current date and time as prefix | timestampprefix | If selected, a timestamp, with the date and time when the file was exported, is added to the start of the file name. This prefix can be used to uniquely identify the file, and ensures that each export does not overwrite any previous files. |
Add current date and time as suffix | timestampsuffix | If selected, a timestamp, with the date and time when the file was exported, is added to the end of the file name. This suffix can be used to uniquely identify the file, and ensures that each export does not overwrite any previous files. |
Recipients for export via email (use comma as separator) | recipients | Enter here a list of email addresses, which will receive the exported PRCX file as an attachment. Each separate address must be separated by a comma. |
