How can data be exported?​

To export data, follow these steps:

  1. In the core module of the application properties, enable the data export scheduler by setting klaw.export.scheduler.enable to true.
  2. Specify the directory where the data files should be exported by setting klaw.export.file.path to the desired location.
  3. Configure a pattern (cron expression) for the scheduler to run at a specific interval. For example, to run the scheduler at 12 AM every day, use the expression '0 0 0 \* \* ?'.
  4. Once you have updated the above settings, restart the application for the changes to take effect.
