The Store External Data Entries Advanced action stores several values at a time using the Data Exchange API. Theses values are referred to as “External Data” in the Runtime and Results tabs. A typical use is to grab business-related metrics through a Variable Extractor or through the SQL action and store them for later analysis. The entry values can be structured in a tree by specifying different paths in the path parameter.
Information:If at least one of the variable values is not numerical, all values will be displayed in the URL column of the External Data.
