Schedules module

With the Scheduled Exports facility it is possible to schedule the regular export of data from Vitalware (the facility was introduced with version 2.1.02). Users are able to define:

  • A set of fields for export.
  • A sort order for the exported records.
  • A TexQL statement to determine which records to export.
  • Dates on which the export is to occur.

    Data can be scheduled to be exported on anything from a daily to an annual basis. The export occurs outside working hours (generally early in the morning) and the results are stored on the Vitalware server. A user may then view the results and save / view the export files produced.

    The Schedules module holds one record per Scheduled Export containing the definition of the export (as defined above).

The Scheduled Exports facility uses two modules to store export details:

  • Schedules

    Holds one record per Scheduled Export containing the definition of the export.

  • Exports

    Holds one record per set of export files produced. When a Scheduled Export is run, a new exports record is created containing the output of the export process.

Details about how to use the Export and Schedules modules can be found in Scheduled Exports.
