Process Settings
Below are the settings you must define for the Cost Data Export API process.
Setting | Description | Sample Value |
|---|---|---|
ProcessID | This setting informs Cobra to run the Cost Data Export process. | CostDataExport |
ConfigurationName | This setting refers to the name of the export configuration file. The configuration name is case-sensitive. This setting is required. | DemoAdvancedExport |
ConfigurationOwner | This setting refers to the owner of the export configuration file. If this setting is not specified, Cobra will assume that the API login user is the owner of the configuration file. This setting is optional. | SYSADMIN |

ExportFile | This setting refers to the file path and filename of the exported file. If this setting is not specified, Cobra will use the default path saved in the configuration file.
Note: If the Append the current period label to the filename checkbox on the Save and Run page of the Cost Data Wizard is selected, the label for the current status date is added to the exported filename.
If there is already an existing export file with the same name, Cobra automatically overwrites it without displaying a confirmation prompt. This setting is optional. | c:\\My Documents\\spaceshuttle.dcde |
