Use the EKM File Upload workflow
Section titled “Use the EKM File Upload workflow”EKM is prepared as a File Upload Source. The Source setup does not ask for an EKM API key. Export the required EKM files using the procedure above, keep the filenames and formats expected by Supported Files, and continue with the file upload workflow.
Do not create an API key solely because an older EKM procedure mentioned one. If the required EKM data cannot be represented by the supported exports, document the additional requirement through Prepare Custom Service Requirements.
