This section describes the application level configuration. This configuration is done in the app.config which is named Exporter.exe.config.

Key	Description
apiUrl	The URL for the DC's API. In almost all cases, this URL is simply composed of the URL to the DC, with "/dmm3bwsv3/" added to the end. Use this unless otherwise specified.
username	The username of the user with read rights to the assets and meta data being exported. The language of this user determines the language of the exported meta data.
password	An MD5 hash of the password corresponding to username.
searchName	The search used to retrieve the meta data and assets.
channelId	An optional filter. Write a channel's ID here to only export assets and meta data from said channel. See section below about limiting the exported assets.
catalogFolderId	An optional filter. Write a catalog folder's ID here to only export assets and meta data from said catalog folder. See section below about limiting the exported assets.
assetIds	An optional filter. Write 1-many comma-separated asset IDs to only export said assets. See section below about limiting the exported assets.
assetsPerPage	The page size, the search uses when getting its results.
metadataTransformType	Determines what the meta data is exported as. The valid values are either "Excel" or "XmlFiles"
metadataDeliveryType	Determines where/how the meta data should be sent after being processed. The valid values are either "ExcelToLocalFolder" or "XmlToLocalFolder". Please note that these options work in conjunction with the options for metadataTransformType, i.e. you cannot have a metadataTransformType of "Excel" and a metadataDeliverType of "XmlToLocalFolder"
assetDeliveryType	Determines where/how the assets should be sent after being processed. ATM, the only valid option is "LocalFolder".
exportAssets	Determines whether to also export assets or to only export meta data. The valid values are either "true" or "false".
folderPath	A path to where the processed assets and/or meta data should be placed. The path must be a full path to a folder on the machine executing the application, e.g. "C:\Users\jb\working\exportedAssets".
deleteExportedAssets	Determines whether the exported assets should be deleted from the DAM Center when the export is done. Please note that this "delete" is a soft delete, i.e. some variables in the DB are changed, but the relevant files and records still exist
titleFieldId	Provides a pointer to the file name of the exported assets and meta data, which is provided by the exporting search. The "exportSearch", which comes with the DbUpgrade application, uses the "Asset info" meta data group's "Title" meta field.
extensionFieldId	Provides a pointer to the file extension of the exported assets, which is provided by the exporting search. The "exportSearch", which comes with the DbUpgrade application, uses the value found in asset_digiupload.FileType.
urlFieldId	Provides a pointer to the URL used to download an asset, which is provided by the exporting search.
totalFieldId	The exporting search's "total number of results" used for paging.
metadataExcludeFieldIds	The search used to get the assets and meta data may return values, which shouldn't be exported. Define those values here in a comma-separated string e.g. "extension,sourceUrl,total,ItemId".
splitter	Some meta data may be complex types like trees or multi combos. Those meta data will become a string that's seperated by the "splitter" value.
