Periodic, Recurring and Automated Exports
System administrators can create packages on a regular periodic and recurring basis by setting specific rules within a recipe file and creating custom batch files to execute the package export.
For example, an administrator needs to set up a system where the contents in the folder of the source and the destination system are synchronized. To do so, the administrator sets up an export recipe file to specify the location of the folder and its subfolders, and schedules a package creation to occur daily at midnight. Furthermore, the package should not contain previously published content. The administrator specifies all these rules in a manual periodic export recipe file, and writes a script to automatically export the package into certain locations daily.
