Exporting Users, User Metadata and Groups

Business Analytics Administration : Business Analytics Server Administration : Deploying Business Analytics Instances, Clusters or Artifacts : Exporting Users, User Metadata and Groups

Yyou can export all users, user groups, user group assignments and Business Analytics User Attributes from the Business Analytics Repository to an export file. You can then import this file to another Business Analytics Repository.

Important:

If you have configured Business Analytics to work with your LDAP Directory, this command only exports Business Analytics User Attributes. Data for users, user groups and user group assignments resides in LDAP.

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 user groups 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 exportUsersRoles -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.
