Scheduled Data Export-customized csv file

[Sagaya]

Hi ,

I need to export table records to MID server folder with csv format. So i am using Scheduled data export .

I have export definition & its fields, the export target, the mid server configured, the path configured, format as csv.

But the problem is , client need some fields based on logic and concatenate more than one column. So there is no one-to-one mapping in some fields.

Sample : 

In incident table ,  need to concatenate incident number & Category  and include this value in csv file [INC0000038_software]

Need to get the incident records based on some logic/dependent table value.

How can i address this issue ? because in "Export Definition" there is no script option to get the field value based on logic.

So can i follow the steps to address this issue?

1. Configure Scheduled data export with direct field values.

2. in "Scheduled data export" --> "Execute pre-export script" access the attached csv file and append the filed which need to populate based on logic.

Please share sample script for #2.

Regards,

Sagaya Rajan.

I did something similar way back in 2017 but I had written mid server script include which uses Java packages + javascript to manipulate CSV

what I did was this

1) allow csv to get exported

2) then in post export script call the mid server script include

3) that mid server script include will use java code to read the csv file, perform manipulation and create fresh csv file as per client need and then delete the older csv

I believe you need to use the same logic since you cannot use Pre-export script since by that time the csv file itself is not ready.

One thing you can try is this

1) when the csv file is generated it gets attached to ecc_agent_attachment table

2) you can try to write some BR on sys_attachment with condition as table=ecc_agent_attachment and create fresh csv and attach again to same record
