Query - Schedule Export Settings

Schedule Export

Setting Description
Status  Determine whether or not the export should automatically be based on the schedule established.
Destination Select the appropriate endpoint:
  • Technolutions SFTP - Sends the file to the Slate SFTP site. 
  • Custom File Transfer - Sends the file to the Slate SFTP or an external SFTP site.
  • Materialized View - Configures the query as a materialized view.
  • Web Service (Remote) - Configures an endpoint that can be called via web services.
  • Facebook Audience - Sends a targeted audience to Facebook Custom Audiences.
View Provide the view to be associated with the Materialized View.
Endpoint Provide a secure endpoint for the corresponding Web Service (Remote) server.
Headers Define custom headers for the web service.
Connection Provide a secure connection for the corresponding Custom Server.
Path Specify the path of the file. A forward slash will create a directory (e.g., "sis_exports/export_file_%F.txt" will generate a text file in the sis_exports directory within the outgoing directory.) Use the link at the right of the text box to see the possible date and time variables for the file name. Files with identical names will be overwritten; adding the %FT%T variable (full date and time stamp) makes it highly unlikely that files will be overwritten.
Encryption Select Secure Transfer or PGP Encryption
  • Secure Transfer (default) 
  • PGP Encryption - Enter the PGP key to encrypt the data file. This is only necessary if the file is transferred to an external site in an insecure manner (i.e., not SFTP).
