The Optional External Data Feed is an optional component enabled by license key. If this feature has not been enabled, the Feed Type list will be empty.
The first time that an optional external feed task runs, the necessary audit sources will be created. One limitation is that data that is time-stamped with a date earlier than the audit source creation date cannot be stored. This means that the first time the task runs, it will only export data for the current date. On subsequent executions of the task following that date, any data from that date forward can be exported. (In other words, the next day, you will be able to export that day's data plus the prior day's data.)
If you have not yet started to define a compliance workflow automation process, see Create a Workflow Process before performing this procedure.
