Extracting data

To extract data from a database using the Extractor, you must specify the data that you want to extract from the database using an extraction-filter file. The extraction filter that you use depends on the type of data that you want to extract.

To extract data, do the following:

  1. If the Loader package has not yet been configured, configure the Loader package.
  2. If necessary, configure the Extractor.
  3. Create an extraction filter. For more information see example of an extraction filter.
  4. Run the extract command. Specify the name of the properties file created in step 1 as the value of the customizer parameter of the Extract command.
