Exporting Documents

To export a document to a data file, an export translation object for the transaction set must be loaded into the system, registered, and set up as the export translation object in the inbound relationship record for the partner.

Notes:

After performing an export command, any subsequent exports to the same export file increases the size of the file by appending the new external data to this file.
If you set up the Export to Mailbox command on the Inbound Translation Objects dialog box, the document is exported to the mailbox you specify.

To export a document, complete the following steps.

From the appropriate area of The Desk, select the In Documents Browser, ?In Documents Browser, or In Drawer Browser.
The system displays the appropriate summary dialog box for the selected browser.
Select the type of document for the appropriate partner and click View.
The system displays the appropriate document browser.
Select the document or documents that are to be exported, and click Export.
The system displays the Select Export Method Dialog Box.
Select one of the following options and click OK:
- To convert all selected documents to data and write them to a single file, select the Export to Single File option.
- To write selected documents to the files set up in the partner inbound relationship, select the Export to Default Files option.
- To rename selected documents, select the Select File by Document option.
The system displays the Choose File to Export Document Dialog Box.
