Upon saving a selection rule export file, an Export rule ‘[rule name]’ job is created.
On completion, its most recent activity status is set to ‘Export [n] records’. Its status is set to Download Completed, and an Open File button is displayed.
Note that if you close and re-open the RPI client application, the Open File button is replaced by a Download button; you must save the report again before the Open File button is displayed. On clicking Open File, the export file is displayed.
Its contents are accordant with the associated rule, export template and export settings. If exporting a selection rule, and the selected export template contains one or more attributes from a joined table, and if the values of said attribute(s) are NULL, all rows targeted by the selection rule are exported, with blank attribute values in the export file as appropriate.
A rule export produces a single file on the RPI server, within the folder defined by client system configuration setting FileOutputDirectory or cluster setting GlobalFileOutputDirectory (as appropriate). The file’s structure is defined by the selected export template. The data contained there is sourced from data warehouse records that match the criteria specified in the rule. If a selection rule, data is deduplicated in accordance with the selected export template's Deduplication property.
