Export setup

The bundle allows manual and automatic execution of exports. The export can be setup in different ways. For all ways, there are two export modes:

  • Full Export: Does a full export regardless of items that might be in the queue.
  • Only Queue Items: Only exports items that are in the queue (populated via the Delivery Trigger settings).

Manual execution directly in Configuration​

The export can be executed directly by the user in the configuration dialog. For the two export modes, two different buttons exist. When clicking the corresponding button, the export is executed asynchronously via Symfony messenger queue.

The progress of the export is also visualized directly in the configuration dialog, the Export Logs tab shows all log messages from the export.

Please make sure to set up following thing:

Automatic execution via Cron Definition​

Starting ExportStarting ExportStarting Export

In addition to the manual execution, a recurring export based on cron definitions can be configured directly in the configuration. Thus, it is possible to easily configure exports e.g. every 10 Minutes, once a day, etc.

See for example Crontab Guru for possibilities and a generator for generating cron definitions.

For the two export modes, two cron definitions can be configured. If cron definition is empty, export is not executed. The actual export then is processed via Symfony messenger queue.

Please make sure to set up following things:

  • Execution of datahub:export:file:execute-cron on regular basis, e.g. every minute. It checks, if any cron definitions require execution of an export.
  • Setup of Symfony messenger queue and the transport pimcore_datahub_fileexport is processed.

Execution via CLI Command​

The export command also can be setup and executed directly as cronjob by just executing the datahub:export:file command (for details see --help option). This might be useful, when more custom execution definitions are necessary or special infrastructure requirements exist.

For this execution option, no Symfony messenger queue is necessary.
