I can manually run an data export using DATA in External Systems to export a specific set of information into XML, but I want to look at doing the steps automatically on a recurring basis.
Has anyone ever been able to use an Escalation to periodically run a data export (flat file or XML) via the MIF?
You can do that with a custom cron task

The easiest way is to have an escalation set a flag on the records you want to export then have a publish channel with an event listener publish them. Add a skip rule to the channel to exclude all other updates. No custom code, all straightforward config via the UI.

This will create one object per output file is that what you want ?

The other potential drawback to this method is that you are actually affecting a change on every record that you wish to export, so if it is an object that tracks changeby/date, this will reflect the escalation user, rather than the user that actually made the last real change. This may or may not be important to you, but it is worth consideration. If you're comfortable/skilled with custom code, it provides a little more control and flexibility and the code to fire off an export is fairly simple. You'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each approach in your own setup.
One other thing to be aware of, as noted, a listener will fire off one message per record. This is actually desirable if the end consumer is a system rather than a human. Many smaller messages will process more efficiently than one large message. My experience, with a dedicated MIF instance and 4+ gb allocated to its JVM, you can only export about 8 to 10k records (locations) at once before the JVM runs out of memory. I've been able to do nearly 40k records as multiple individual messages and it is barely noticeable in the memory monitor.

You could always use rest

or finds all assets with SV in assetnum field

or set up a query web service bypassing the queues really fast

Why not use CRON to schedule the export with MIF? escalation will use the cron any way.
