ACI BASE24 classic automatic extract configuration

The BASE24 classic automatic extracting is simply configured on the ECF screen in BASE24. You need to refer to specific ACI documentation about the exact fields and values of these screens.

The extract screens contain records for configuring each extract configuration that you want to execute. To be specific, this configuration is for the settings of the execution, not for triggering the execution.
