About EXS

Prev Next

The Entity Export Service (EXS) exports data from Zilliant logical entities to a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You start an export by sending the entity name and an export definition (formatting, field mapping, and optional filters). EXS then runs the export and gives you an export ID that you use to track progress, retrieve a report, and download the final CSV.

Use EXS when you need to:

  • Share entity data with external systems that prefer flat files (CSV).

  • Create extracts for analytics tools, audits, or data validation.

  • Export a subset of entity records based on filters.

  • Produce CSV output with controlled formatting (locale, delimiters, date formats, quoting).

How to use EXS

  1. Prepare the export definition and invoke the export.

  2. Check the export status.

  3. Review the export report.

  4. Download the output file.

  5. (Optional.) Inspect your export metadata.
