Content Manager 24.4 DataPort Help

# Export Processing

Exporting consists of the following methods, they are described here in the order in which they are called.

- StartExport is called to allow you to prepare for incoming (outgoing from Content Manager) data. For example, you may open a destination file or create a database connection.
- GetFormatterInfo is called and the string you return is used both on the UI and in the log file.
- ExportNextItem is at the heart of the export process and will be called for each object returned from the Content Manager saved search defined on the Content Manager DataPort configuration file for this export. A list containing the values for this export item is passed out.
- EndExport is called when there is no further data to export. Here you may tidy up the data target. For example, you may close the file you have been writing or close the connection to the database you have been populating.
- Dispose is call on the formatter when Content Manager DataPort is no longer going to use it.
