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:
Parameter | Description |
CENTRASITE-URL | (Optional). The URL of the CentraSite registry. Default value is http://localhost:53307. |
USER-ID | The user ID of a registered CentraSite user who has the CentraSite Administrator role. For example, Administrator. |
PASSWORD | The password for the registered CentraSite user identified by the parameter USER-ID. |
SAVED-SEARCH | Name of the saved search in CentraSite. |
SCOPE | The folder to store the newly added saved search in CentraSite. The possible values are: global - This option stores the search information in "Default Organization" folder. org - This option stores the search information in the user's organization folder. user (default value) - This option stores the search information in the user folder. |
TARGET-USER | The name or UUID of a CentraSite user to whom you want to transfer ownership of the objects that are referenced by the organization identified by the parameter SAVED-SEARCH. |
