Exporting Report Model to A Dataflow
In Astera, you can export the extracted data to various destinations such as Excel workbooks and files, or a database table destination such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, ODBC, etc.
Note: The data providers available to you depend upon the ReportMiner license you have purchased.
Follow the steps mentioned below to export your Report Model to a dataflow:
Click on the icon in the Model Layout panel if you want to export your data to an Excel destination. This will open a new window where you will have to specify the output file location.
When you expand the rules for filtering data, you will see the following three sections:
Functions - an extensive library of built-in functions from where you can select any function according to your requirement and apply it to your data
Objects Panel - it contains the layout of your report model from where you can simply double-click on the object and write it in your function
Expression builder - here you can write your expressions by either selecting it from the built-in functions library or writing one of your own
Write the expression ITEM= “SOFA” in the expression builder. Compile your expression to check if it is successful and click OK when the compile status is successful.
Go to the Model Layout panel where you can see your exported file with multiple export setting options such as:
Preview Selected Export
Edit Export Settings
Run Selected Export
Create Dataflow
Open and Remove Export Settings
Click on the Run Selected Export button. While the export is running, you can see the progress details and completion status in the job trace appearing in the Job Progress window. On a successful job run, you will get a clickable link to the destination file and the log file in the job trace. If your export encountered any errors during the run, you can click on the link for the log file and view the error details.
Click on the destination file link to open the output file. You can see that only filtered items have been exported to the destination file.
This is how your dataflow would look like:
Your dataflow will successfully be created.
