How to change the file name made from the "export update set" ui action?

Jace Benson · ‎03-01-2019

I know I've found this once before, but my search is not giving me the results I found before. If anyone knows how to change the file name generated from the export update set ui action to be the name of the update set + .xml vs the oob sys_update_set_sysid.xml I'd love to try it out.

Hi Benson,

When you check UI action of Export Update Set you should find this export_update_set in script section.

there is a processor with this path. when you open that processor you can find this script include ExportWithRelatedLists and these functions addRelatedList() and exportRecords() you need to debug.

There is this function getFileName within which has below code

getFileName: function(){
return (this.parent_table + '_' + this.sys_id + '.xml');
},

just change this to below and check whether the file name comes as my_custom_sysId.xml.

If it is coming then this is the place and you can then modify it as per your convenience.

getFileName: function(){
return ('my_custom' + '_' + this.sys_id + '.xml');
},

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
