Hi all,
 
I have created an entity for DMF which I will use for a file export.
 
I would like to do any action before the export, there is any method for that ?
 
Thanks for help

    Hi,
     
    Sorry for my bad explanation, I will reformulate.
     
    Yes I have created a new custom entity, my question is : Is it possible to do some action (for example I need to update a value in the database before the export) via x++ by using a method like it's possible with an import with the method "PostGetStagingData" for example.
     
    I have tried a lot of method but I didn't found anything, only the PostLoad method is accessible but it launch after the export.
     
    To get around this problem, I have created a batch job class which is executed before the export, but if you have any suggestion, I'll take it.
     
    Thanks

    Hi Julien,
    Do you elaborate about the data entity and action? Is it a custom entity?
    If you have created a new custom entity, once you deploy it in your environment you need to refresh entity list (DMF > Framework parameters) so the new entity will be populated on the entity list and you can use it for file export.
