Outbound message types form

Key settings​

  • Source — the connection type and target folder (e.g. on the SFTP server).
  • Processing — the export class, extending DEVIntegExportBulkBase (a RunBaseBatch subclass) for bulk exports or DEVIntegExportMessageBase for event-based documents. Simple bulk cases can run a plain SQL statement or a data entity query with no code via DEVIntegExportBulkSQL — see Outbound Periodic.
  • File parameters — file name template with a %d date placeholder (formatted using .NET DateTime.ToString rules) and a CSV delimiter.
  • Advanced — log detail level and a Company range restricting which companies the export runs in.

Servicing​

  • Export all performs an initial export of existing documents through a standard query dialog — used when going live with an event-based integration on a database that already contains documents.
  • Test connection validates the channel.
