Exported data set administration (IRPCExportedDataSetsAdmin)

View as Markdown

Manages the vault's exported data sets: the definitions of the vault data that M-Files Reporting Data Services exports to a reporting database.

MFAdmin uses this interface to manage the data set configuration.

Overview

M-Files Admin uses this service for the reporting and data export settings of a vault. An exported data set (ExportedDataSetAdmin) names the object types, properties and filters to export, a schedule, and the OLE DB connection string of the target database. M-Files Reporting Data Services runs the exports; this service only stores the definitions, requests runs, and reads their status.

• Definitions: GetExportedDataSetsAdmin, AddNewExportedDataSet, ModifyExportedDataSet, RemoveExportedDataSet.
• Runs: TriggerExportedDataSetExecution, CancelExportedDataSetExecution, GetExportedDataSetExecutionStatus.
• Report access account: GetReportAccessCredentialsAdmin, SetReportAccessCredentials.

Rights. All methods need a vault session and a server license that includes the reporting module ("This operation requires the reporting module." otherwise), except that GetExportedDataSetsAdmin returns an empty list without it. Most methods need the vault right see_all_objects. The connection string makes the server connect to a data source with its own service account, so setting a new one needs the server right run_code, which a vault administrator normally does not have (see AddNewExportedDataSet). Users without administrator rights can request a run with TriggerExportedDataSetRefresh if they have the vault right trigger_data_export.
