Data Exporter Configuration

The Data Exporter has a single configuration End Point which is used to hold SFTP details. These details are picked from the scheduling form so that configuration can be held in a single place, and passwords don't need to be entered into the form.

If you are not planning on exporting data via SFTP, this configuration can be left blank.

Namespace

The Configuration End Points article explains the principles of holding product configuration in End Points.

You should create configuration for each of your environments at config.<environment>.DataExporter.getConfig

Example

There's an example configuration End Point at config.example.DataExporter.getConfig which you can copy into your other environment namespaces.

Details

function(params, credentials) {
    return {
        sftpDetails: [{
                "key": "first_sftp",
                "display": "First SFTP",
                "path": "transfer/myFolder",
                "password": "password2",
                "port": 22,
                "host": "127.0.0.1",
                "createFolder": "",
                "user": "test"
            },
            {
                "key": "second_sftp",
                "display": "Second SFTP",
                "path": "transfer/myFolder",
                "password": "password2",
                "port": 22,
                "host": "127.0.0.1",
                "createFolder": "",
                "user": "test"
            }
        ]
    };
}

Each object in this array provides an option in the scheduling form drop-down:
