About Data Export jobs
Data Export jobs allow data that is generated in Planning Server to be exported to an external database. This job can be started, but cannot be created, from PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel.
To perform the tasks in a Data Export job, Planning Business Modeler runs a business rule that is called an Outbound rule. For information how to use this rule, see How do I export data with an outbound rule?
Note
When you run a Data Export job, Planning Server logs the time the export was created, and the time the file was last changed. This log time value is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
