You can export the activities based on their last modified date during non-interactive migration. To do this, you need to set the value of the tag ModifiedDate in the format, <![CDATA[> YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss]]>. For example, <![CDATA[<= 2021-05-24 16:39:17]]>.

The following types of comparison operators can be used for the ModifiedDate tag.

Operator

Description

Example

> 

Greater than

<![CDATA[> 2021-05-24 16:39:17]]>

< 

Less than

<![CDATA[< 2021-05-24 16:39:17]]>

>=

Greater than equal to

<![CDATA[>= 2021-05-24 16:39:17]]>

<=

Less than equal to

<![CDATA[<= 2021-05-24 16:39:17]]>

To set the value of the ModifiedDate tag in the connect_export.xml file:

  1. Navigate to .../<AdeptiaInstallFolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/MigrationUtility folder.
  2. Open connect_export.xml in a text editor.
  3. Uncomment the following section by removing the <!-- before and --> after the ModifiedDate tag.

  4. Set the value of the ModifiedDate tag.

    Ensure that the comparison operator and the date are mentioned within the CDATA tag.


If you further want to apply ModifiedDate criteria on a specific activity of a particular activity type, you need to do the followings:

  1. Follow the steps 1 through 4 given for setting the value of ModifiedDate tag.
  2. Use the checkModifiedDate attribute and set its value to yes for the parent activity element.
  3. Specify the name(s)/id(s) of the activities as child element(s).

  4. Save the file.

    If you do not set the checkModifiedDate attribute, the ModifiedDate criteria doesn’t apply on the activity
