IMPORTANT!
Records exported by OTM that have the UserID field modified by another program (to any
value other than no value) are not updated during an import by OTM. During Import,
OTM does not update these modified records but creates new records.
Exporting is exporting data from the OTM databases to an external source. This is useful
for archiving a range of data for later retrieval. For example, if you want to archive a
range of CDR data to an external source, then you can select a range of data and specify
the external source.
When exporting data, you can select from a predefined export configuration, or you can
define your own custom configuration.
Export data using a predefined configuration
To export data using a predefined configuration, you must first select the configuration
and its component values. This configuration outlines the parameters of the data being
exported. This includes such information as the format of the data, the types of records
and their field parameters (character length, position and so on). OTM includes a set of
predefined export configurations for common database types. You can then select the
location to which you will export the data (for example, disk drive, CD-ROM, and so
on).
The following is a summary of the steps required to export data using a predefined
configuration:
1 Access the Export utility. See “Access the Export utility” on page 279.
2 Select export configuration components. See “Select export configuration” on
page 279.
3 Define export configuration. See “Export configuration definition” on page 280.
4 Export the data. See “Export data” on page 281.
Export data using a custom configuration
To export data using a custom configuration, you must first define the export
configuration. This configuration outlines the parameters of the data being exported.
