Hi Keral -
       You can give any name that makes sense to you (like the report number)for the technical name of the extract. As for the path, I usually have the file store on the application server by the giving the path (for example, /datastaging/BWP/in/BAPI_FOLDER). (From here if you need, you can save the file as an excel file onto your desktop). In short below are the steps,
1) Use the t-code RSCRM_BAPI, select the query you are interested in extractiing
2) Hit extract and it will ask you for a technical name which can be any meaningful name, choose FILE (CSV) option, give the file name (BAPI_EXTRACT) and give the path /datastaging/BWP/in/BAPI
3) Schedule this job and when finished, check in your application server using t-code AL11.
FYI, I was not successful in saving the file directly onto the workstation, so I endup saving it onto the application server and from there pull it onto my desktop.
        Hope this helps.
