Technical node name: ExportDef

An export action is used to retrieve items from (i.e. export them out of) Exchange. Therefore, it must be preceded by an Archive path action (a Keywording action is recommended as well) and followed by an Archive node at minimum.

Mode: Choose whether the entire Exchange item is exported or just part of it, and how this export is accomplished.

• Whole: The default option exports items whole (including attachments) as they exist in Exchange.
• Split: Messages are exported along with all attachments as separate ELO entries.
• Message only: Only the message body is exported to ELO.
• Attachments only: Only the attachments to the item are exported.
• Whole + attachments: A combination of the whole and split options. Both the message along with its attachments are exported as a single item, and the attachments are exported as separate items.

Delimiter: This option is only required if you select mapping attributes in All options. Enter the type of separator between field names and their values. You may choose between lfcr (i.e. line feed/carriage return, or that field names and their values are placed on separate lines), and colon (i.e. field names and their values are separated by a : and a space).

Mapping: This field is only shown if you select All options. You may use any number of mapping tags to export Exchange field names in addition to message and/or attachment items. Enter the desired field name to the Value field.

Select the Value only option to only export the data within the pid tag. If you do not select the option, the field name and the data within it will be exported.

AttachmentNameFilter: These options are only available if you select Advanced. Use an attachment name filter to limit the types of attachments that are exported based on their names.

Attachment name filter attributes

Mode: Select between Simple, Regex, Constant, and Field name. These options affect the type of filter constructed by the Pattern field below.

Simple: Enter a plain text string to the Pattern field as a filter. You may use * and ? as wildcards. A simple pattern is converted internally to a regular expression by ELOxc.

Regex: Enter a regular expression to the Pattern field as a filter.

Constant: Enter a text string to the Pattern field as a filter. This mode type does not support wildcards.

Field name: Enter a field name to the Pattern field as a filter. Exchange items without this tag will be filtered out.

Options: If you selected the Regex mode for the filter, you may select from a number of options for the expression. These options are listed under the MatchModeType simple type in the ELOxc Technical Reference.

Pattern: Enter the filter pattern for the element filter here. The type of entry you make to this field depends on what you selected in the Mode field.

Type: Select whether to Include or Exclude the type of attachment name that fits the filter.

AttachmentSizeFilter: These options are only available if you select Advanced. Use an attachment size filter to control the types of attachments exported from Exchange.

Attachment size filter options

Value: Do not enter anything to this field.

Size min: Enter a value to this field to specify a minimum attachment size in bytes.

Size max: Enter a value to this field to specify a maximum attachment size in bytes.

Requirements: You must select a type of export in the Mode field.
