Defining a DeltaQ Extraction #

After selecting an Extractor, follow the steps below:

  3. Optional: If applicable, add filters in the Selection column to filter your data (7). For more information on filtering, see Datasource Parameters.
  4. Validate your settings by running a test extraction.

    After successful activation, the corresponding status messages appear in the course of a few seconds:
