Use the PDW File Extract Utility to download information from either the Product Data Warehouse (PDW) Catalog or the Eclipse Product file into an ASCII formatted file. The extract utility downloads PDW Catalog metadata items, Eclipse Product file dictionary items, and customer-specific prices. Use this utility to create a catalog of products that you can send electronically to your customers.
To extract data from the PDW Catalog and Eclipse Product file into an ASCII formatted file, you must design the extract to determine the format in which the data downloads. You can also filter the selection criteria so only certain data downloads to the ASCII file.
Note: You cannot use Eclipse Mass Load to download data from the PDW Catalog because the scalable file design of the PDW Catalog does not work effectively with Mass Load.
