Define Parameters for Export to Integration Package

Explanation

This activity is used to filter business objects on the business object tree and to define those that have to be exported to the integration package. You can perform this activity in the Manage Job/Export tab where it is possible to prompt a complete export of business objects from the business object tree or an export with some exclusions of business objects. Checking a node for a business object in the tree makes it part of the export process while selecting a business object in the tree retrieves a configuration window where it is possible to define detailed conditions to influence export. Checking a low level node will automatically check all related higher nodes for that particular branch in the business object tree.

Prerequisites

A job has to be created and the Export check box for the job has to be selected.

System Effects

The outbound integration package will export only those business objects with their relations and properties which have been selected from the business object tree and saved on the job.
