CLI Example: Find and Replace Catalog Text

You can find and replace text for catalog objects programmatically using the Catalog Manager command line interface. For example, you can write a script to rename folders, files, workbooks, and other objects in the catalog.

Syntax to Find and Replace Text

runcat.sh -cmd replace -online <Oracle Analytics Cloud URL> 
-folder <root folder to start find> 
textreplace -old "<string to replace> -new "<new string>" 
-credentials <file with login username and password>

Example

In this example, you rename a catalog folder with the name Revenue. The new folder name is Sales Reports:

runcat.sh -cmd replace -online "https:/myoac.ocp.oraclecloud.com/analytics-ws" -folder "/Shared Folders/North America" textreplace -old "/Shared Folders/North America/Revenue" -new "/Shared Folders/North America/Sales Reports" -credentials /scratch/mycredentials.txt

Where the credentials file contains the rows:

login=<userid>
pwd=<password>
