Calculate and Export PCM Model

Calculates a SAP PCM model and exports the result in one step, through a PlaidLink agent with access to the PCM installation. Where Calculate PCM Model only runs the calculation, this step also moves the output.

The PlaidLink agent that reaches the PCM installation.

  • Model name — the PCM model to calculate.
  • Export specification path — the PCM export specification describing what to export.

Choose a database target, a file target, or both.

To a database — on by default; the export writes through the specification’s configured database target.

To a file — off by default. When on:

  • File path — where the agent writes the file.
  • Alias — the alias recorded in the export. Defaults to DEFAULT ALIAS.
  • Precision — decimal places for exported values. Defaults to 0.
  • Delimiter — comma, tab, pipe, semicolon, space, @, ~, or :. Defaults to tab.
  • Append — off by default, so each run replaces the file. Turn it on to accumulate runs.
  • Include rules — off by default. Turn it on to export the model’s rules alongside the values.
  • Unicode — off by default. Turn it on when the exported data contains characters outside the default encoding.
