Copying Reporting Search
Pre-requisites:
To create a copy of an existing reporting search through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
A saved search can become quite complex, especially if it contains several attributes. Instead of creating a new saved search “from scratch”, it is sometimes easier to copy an existing search that is similar to the one you need and edit the copy.
CentraSite provides a command tool named copy Search for this purpose.
*To copy a custom reporting search
*Run the command copy Search.
The syntax is of the format: C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd copy search [-url <CENTRASITE-URL>] -user <USER-ID> -password <PASSWORD> -savedSearch <SAVED-SEARCH> [-overwrite <CONFIRM-OVERWRITE>] [-scope <SCOPE>] [-targetuser <TARGET-USER>]
The input parameters are:
