Export scenario parameters

When you create an export scenario in the Manage export scenarios (SM207025) window, you first specify the following required parameters:

  • Name:
    In this field, you specify a name for the export scenario that reflects its functionality. You have to use unique names between import and export scenarios.
    (That is, you cannot use the same name for both an import scenario and an export scenario.)
  • Window name:
    In this field, you select the Visma Net window from which you want to export data.
  • Provider and Provider object:
    In these fields, you select one of the existing data providers and its object that should be used for data export.
    If you select a file data provider, Visma Net automatically attaches to the scenario in the Schedule export scenarios (SM207035) window the file used for file data provider creation.
    This file is shared between the data provider and the export scenario that uses it for data export (that is, it is attached to both the Data providers (SM206015) window for the provider and the Manage export scenarios (SM207025) window for the scenario). You can view and modify the attached file by using the File maintenance (SM202510) window.
    To open the window, while you are viewing the export scenario, click Files on the title bar.

Then you can specify the following optional parameters:

  • Sync type: By default, the Full option is selected, causing all records to be exported.
    Selecting a different option is useful when you use the same scenario for exporting data regularly.
    For example: After the initial export, you may periodically need to export new or changed data records in Visma Net to the external system or file.

    You can select from two options that provide incremental export.
    To export only the records for which data has changed in the Visma Net database since the previous export took place, select the Incremental - all records sync type.
    To import only new records in the Visma Net database, select the Incremental - new only sync type.

  • Format locale:
    For Visma Net to export dates, numbers, and other country-specific data in the needed format, you should specify the locale in the Format locale field.
    By default, Visma Net uses the invariant locale.

The newly created scenario has the Active check box selected, which indicates that the scenario can be used for processing.
