Define an Accounting Event in Automation Center to generate the needed data in .csv format.

Note the event name, and the output folder and output file name:

Import the workflow run_event_and_distribute with IWS UI. The export and instructions to import are attached to Jira SDP-87432

 

Define a distribution profile in estar/tpe/dynamic/metadata/distributions/.

The distribution profile identifies the destination of files.

The azure blob type should identify the credentials, container name and dropdir name.

There should already be examples of distribution profiles sending to azure in your source environment.

Create an EJM profile in EJM Monitoring Tool (Activities tab) for the run_event_and_distribute workflow:

eventName parameter is the name of the accounting event to execute.

localFileName_1 is the full path to the output file (this should match the accounting event definition).

Additional file names for events having multiple output files can be specified with localFileName_2 etc.

distributionprofilename identifies the distribution profile; for a profile named azure_prod_extracts_profile.json, the parameter value would be azure_prod_extracts.

 

The EJM profile can be run manually or from an Automation Center schedule.
