Mode

mode

Select how you want to save the file, either by storing it in a location you will then specify, by sending the file as an e-mail or both ways.

If you select to send the file by e-mail, you  must then specify the e-mail address in the Recipients for export via email edit box.

Export URI

uri

Select whether the file will be saved locally (Local File System) or remotely (Http Remote API, SharePoint, HDFS, AWS S3, FTP, Azure Storage).

From version 4.7 of Rulex, API responses from HTTP calls can be redirected to external sources, such as SharePoint and S3. The response path corresponds to the filename, with the complete path for local file systems, and the remote directory for external sources.

Note: if you chose to save the file remotely you must also configure the Remote Connection parameters in the Remote Connections tab.

Directory

dirname

Enter or browse to the directory where the file will be saved.

If you are exporting to an Azure Storage repository you can either:

• select just the container where you want to save the file as the Directory, and then specify the metadata file name of the blob in the File basename parameter. 
  In this case a blob with the same name as the file will be automatically created for the file.

• select the container, and manually add the name of the blob, where you want to save the file as the Directory, and then specify the metadata file name of the blob in the File basename parameter. 
  In this case the file will be saved in the specified blob and container.

File basename

basename

Enter a name for the file that will be exported.

Add current date and time as prefix

timestampprefix

If selected, the date and timestamp will be added to the start of the file basename as a prefix.

Add current date and time as suffix

timestampsuffix

If selected, the date and timestamp will be added to the end of the file basename as a suffix.

Append data if already exists

If selected, data will be appended to the specified basename if the file already exists, otherwise the original data will be overwritten.

Recipients for export via email (use comma as separator)

recipients

Specify the email addresses where the exported file will be sent, separated by commas.

This option will only be valid if you have selected Send via email or Both in the Mode option.

File Format options

File format

fileformat

Select the format in which you want to export the file: flat, nested or according to the group column.

If you select the group option, you must have selected the Group Column option when importing the Json file, in order to create a column which identifies the group of each tag.

If you did not select this option in import, Rulex will not be able to identify which group each tag belongs to, and consequently a single group will be created in export.

Key for types

Specify the attribute which defines the data type.

Remove missing values

removemiss

If selected, missing records are removed from the exported file.
