Run or Schedule a Data Extraction Job

The data extraction job saves files to the External Report Database based on an extraction profile. Define at least one extraction profile before you run a data extraction job.

You can generate a single data snapshot, or schedule generation of data snapshots at regular intervals.

When you run a data extraction job, a tracking ticket appears in your inbox.

Note: You must have administrator-level rights in the CA RCM portal to perform this procedure.
