I am looking for a way to simulate the Export functionality that is an option in the GUI, but turn it into a process flow so I can run it as a background task. Also prevent a user having to make certain choices on what to columns to export and to what file format it will be.
Certain customers desire large data exports and the .xlsx option will cause OutOfMemoryExceptionOut, but .csv seems to succeed. This process takes quite a while to complete, even though the view itself has the data selected in less than 10 seconds. All this is reason we want to take away the options for customers and put the wait as a background process.
What are my options in this case?

Hi Mark,
Some customers implemented this by using the Web connection or Http Connector.
By using a process flow, they are calling Indicium and export the file to csv (or xlsx).
The request can look like this, but of course it is possible to add filters or paging: iam/dvdb_u/customer?$export=csv
That being said, I think it would be a very good idea to have a special connector for this - so no workaround is needed.
I think it is best to create an idea for this!
I did indeed consider a HTTP/Web connector, but was hoping that perhaps a more direct option was a option as well. I’ll go experiment a bit how viable the connector solution will be as a user experience and have created an idea for a specific “export” connector.
