Create Extracts

Before creating an extract, the primary (Master) database must have been created. The primary database must be multi-write.

Note:
An extract can be created only at a node or at the root of an extract family. That is, you can create an extract at the bottom of an extract tree or you can create a new primary for the extract family, but you cannot insert an extract between different levels.

Click Database and Extracts on the Manage tab. Click Create. Select the An Extract of a DB option. The Create Extract window is displayed.

The Extract team_id/dbname is shown at the top of the window. Initially this shows the name of the team which owns the database selected in the Databases and Extracts list, followed by unset for the dbname until the user actually fills in a name for the new extract. The product associated with the extract is the same as its owner.

The extract will be created from the database selected in the Select Database for Extract list. This list shows all the databases (including any existing extracts) in the project.

Extracts are marked with an X. Variants are marked with a V.

Check that the Owning Team is set to PIPE.

Note:
The team owning the extract can be different from the team owning the parent extract.

Give the extract a Name and optionally a Description.

Leave the other options at their default values (for more information, see the following subsections) and click Apply.

Note:
Extracts cannot be copied in the way that DBs are copied. An extract Variant must be created instead: refer to Variant Extracts.
