We are trying to integrate our D365F&O platform with a third party integrator. The requirement is that we will be exporting Customers data using Recurring batch job and the other party will be accessing the generated package with the Dequeue and Download file API as shown in the recurring batch job microsoft documentation. The problem is that they are asking the data package generated to not have manifest files in the data package and just have data file in excel format. Is there a way to achieve that with or without customization?
You must decide if you want a data package or not. If you want the actual data file, or an archieve with just the file (without a manifest), it's not a data package. If you want a data package, accept that the manifest is one of things that form a data package.
You can get the actual file, not a package, with this API (you can verify that in documentation: Data management package REST API). Just use the output format in your export project.
Hi Alok Shrestha,
You can use Recurring data jobs in Data Management Projects to run periodically and export data to Excel file.
The user can download the excel from the recurring data job history, or you can use LogicApp to pick the excel and save to OneDrive.

Going through MSFT documentation, it seems external application can only download data package and not the individual file.
Actually, it's not the D365f&O user who downloads the file, it's an external application which will call the Dequeue API which in return gives you the link to download the data package but not the individual file.
I don't it's correct. As far I remember, it really works as described at the page I mentioned:
Can you show us configuration of your export project, please?
Recurring Job:
When I Dequeue and call the API to download file in Postman, I can just download data package with manifest files.
The "Advanced options" tab that is mentioned in the documentation, that is just for import project.
Well, you're probably right. I thought this setup would give you the actual file, but if you're saying you're getting a package anyway, it's probably how it works. It's a long since I used this API and it seems that I don't remember it correctly. :-(
By the way, Recurring Integrations Scheduler can be configured to automatically unzip the package and optionally delete it. Maybe you could reuse this logic.
I will look into Recurring Integration Scheduler. Thanks Martin.
