Currently setting up some automation tasks to export some Database view objects. I want the export file names to match their DB object names, but Data Point Export Wizard keeps appending the object name with various forms of Date/Time information. I want to turn this OFF. Do not want it. I want the export files (CSV, Tab, Excel, etc.) to have the exact same name as their source DB object. I’ve been through every option/parameter within Data Point to try and suppress or otherwise disable this annoyance and I cannot find this feature documented anywhere. Anyone have a solution for this? Update: Issue resolved. Simple fix. Overlooked the option in the drop down list on the output filename screen. ---

Looking online I am finding older references to an export option that was titled “Add Date/Time suffix to filename” This option does does not appear to exist in my version of TDP 4.3.0.718, at least not where I have looked… It definitely does not appear on any of the Export wizard options. ---

Never Mind. It appears a little more exploration of the export file name screen was in order. Found it.
