Exporting Business Analytics Global Attributes
You can export metadata for all global Business Analytics Attributes from the Business Analytics Repository to an export file. You can then import this file to another Business Analytics Repository.
Note: | This command is available only in Business Analytics 3.2 or later. |
1. If it is not running, start the Business Analytics Server for the Business Analytics Repository with the global Business Analytics attributes that you wish to export. See Start and Stop the
Business Analytics
Server for instructions. 2. Open a command window and move to the MashZoneNG-install/prestocli/bin folder.
3. Enter this command:
padmin exportGlobalAttribs -f output-file [-l prestoURL]
-u username -w password [-v]
-f output-file: is the path and name of the export file to hold the metadata.
-l prestoUrl: is optional. Use this if the
Business Analytics Server is remote or if it is not running in Tomcat on the default Tomcat port. If you omit this option, this defaults to
http://localhost:8080/presto/edge/api.
-u username: is the
Business Analytics username to log in with. This account
must have
Business Analytics administrator permissions.
-w password: is the
Business Analytics password to log in with.
-v: is an optional flag to turn on verbose logging.
All messages and errors from the export process are sent to the command window (stdout). Once the export command completes successfully, you can use the output file to import mashables or mashups to another Business Analytics Repository.
