| | Export Wizard - database to flat file | | Installation: | FTP this module to your Merchant modules/export/ directory. Be sure the | name is all lower case on the server | In your admin.mv, select Add module in the mall | Enter module/export/exwizard.mv as the path | | Usage: | You can have several pre-saved reports. Their structure will be in a file | called /exwizard/reports.tbl in your data directory once you save your | first report. | You use this module through admin.mv. Select the appropriate store, then | utilities. Click the link for the wizard. Enter the database and | destination file. Most of the databases are in your store directory so | you just put the name of the database. If the database you want is in a | subdirectory, you might put something like customer/orderhx.dbf for the | order history database. You can also store your completed reports in a | different subdirectory if you've created a subdirectory beforehand for | report storage. Then, select a delimiter, the Pipe is best in most cases. | Select Next. Then set the order you want the fields exported. If you | remove a number, that field won't be included. You do not have to | renumber them starting with 1. The module sorts the order number/field | combinations. If you want to save the report structure for use again (so | that you can skip the field numbering step), enter a report name and | description. Then select Export. When you use the wizard again, pre- | saved reports are available for selection. If you select a pre-saved | report you do not need to fill in the database origin and destination or | delimiter. That is done from the pre-saved report format.
