Schedule export
In the previous step, you validated and executed your Data Export integration. This allowed you to fix any issues, confirm the export is working correctly, and receive the first, full export of user data.
The final step is to set up your recurring export schedule. This is done by configuring a scheduled task in SnapLogic.
Configure scheduled task
In the SnapLogic Manager tab:
-
In the left navigation under Identity Cloud Data Export, click on your project folder to open it
-
In the main panel, click on the Tasks tab
-
In the upper right corner, click the Create icon ()
-
Fill out the necessary settings:
Setting Name Setting Value Instructions Name | Give the task an appropriate name you’ll recognize later | Pipeline | Select DataExport | Snaplex | Select Cloud-AkamaiProd | Run policy | Select Scheduled | The remaining settings allow you to configure your desired export schedule and details:
Setting Name Setting Value Instructions Timeout | We recommend leaving this blank; Adding a value here can cause timeout errors when the integration runs | Notifications | You can put one or more email addresses here if you want to receive additional communications about the status of each export
|More Info: You may not want to receive emails every time the export starts, completes, and stops, but it could be useful to receive an email when the export fails. Note that the integration pattern is already designed to send an error notification if there is a failure along the pipeline (e.g. configuration issue, cannot connect to Akamai account, cannot connect to destination account, etc). If you select "Failed" here, you'll also receive an email if there's a failure outside of the pipeline (e.g. an issue with the node the pipeline is running on).
Start Date and Time Zone | Enter the date and time you’d like the first scheduled export to occur | Repeat | Select the first checkbox in order to schedule the recurrence of the export: Execute the Pipeline on a regular schedule
Optionally select the second checkbox to prevent exports from overlapping, should an export begin before the last run finished: Do not start a new execution if one is already active
(This is extremely unlikely if you’re running this every 24 hours. If you’re running it every 5 minutes, there may be a chance your exports will collide.) |by, Every, Ends | These settings define the frequency of exports and when you’d like them to stop, if ever | Blackout dates | You can optionally set specific dates on which you’d like to put the export on hold. This can be helpful for planned outages or holidays. | -
Click Create
Your project folder should now contain:
- Three (3) pipelines
- Two (2) accounts
- One (1) expression file
- One (1) JSON file (if you successfully executed the integration)
- One (1) task
Congratulations - You’ve configured and enabled your Identity Cloud Data Export!
