F2 Data Transfer Service

The content of this website is last updated to F2 version 11. cBrain are working hard on supplying you with the newest documentation of F2.

F2 Data Transfer Service defines a set of data in F2 and extracts them so that data can be accessed on an external server, enabling integration with a BI tool such as Power BI. These data can be analysed and serve as the basis for reporting across different areas of data. The module provides a wide, yet detailed amount of data that can serve as the basis for reporting in a business intelligence context.

Data is extracted every night and delivered to an external server. The nightly extraction ensures that the organisation has access to the latest data without impacting F2’s performance. The organisation’s daily work can therefore continue as usual.

Limitations

F2 Data Transfer Service only extracts and delivers raw data. This means it’s up to the organisation to process the data in order to gain a meaningful output from the extraction.

Organisations that only have a minor need for data display such as snapshots or small ad hoc reports may not necessarily benefit from F2 Data Transfer Service. Instead, these organisations should consider F2 Analytics as a supplement or alternative.
