You'll need to configure, in Emerald Administrator, the following. (This
assumes Emerald 2.0.88 and the latest Emeradmin)
1. Under the "Config Database" option, select the "External Systems" tab.
2. Select the specific system that you are exporting to (In my case, I've
defined one as "Linux Shell/Mail Server".
3. Make sure that you have "Standard / Export" type configured.
4. Leave EVERYTHING else blank except for the last two fields
- WorkDir is actually mislabled, and should be called "export
file" or something similar. Put "c:\emerald.export" in this
field and it will write all exports to that file.
- Logfile is a file that logs the changes and export times
I believe, and should be configured as something like
"c:\emerald.logfile".
That should help you out. This was a weird one for us, but Dale pointed
out the "quirks" in the naming convention and it fixed it right up.
