Export object
To export files from the Datacap system to Box, configure settings on the Export object and call the Upload action to initiate the export process.
Important: Box limits the number
of API calls per second, which means that export failures are more
likely to occur as the number of export threads increases. To avoid
export failures, do not configure more than eight threads for a Box
export ruleset. Decrease the thread number as necessary if your export
logs indicate export failures that are caused by the Box call rate
limitation. For information about Export task logs, see Task
log files. Also, the optimal number of threads can vary depending
on your hardware, image or batch sizes, and network performance. For
general information about configuring threads in Rulerunner, see Rulerunner thread
configuration.
The export settings
govern the behavior of the export process in the following ways:
| Category | Comment | Relevant settings |
|---|---|---|
| DCO objects | You export one of the following types of DCO objects:
|
|
| Metadata | You optionally export the following items as Box file metadata:
|
|
| Location | You optionally specify the Box target folder in which the export process places the exported files. By default, the target folder is your Box root folder. |
|
| Existing file versions | You optionally specify how the export process handles any existing versions of a Box file that has the same name as an exported file. By default, any existing file versions are ignored. |
