exportUserVariableValues

Exports user variable values.

User variables serve as filters in forms. By setting user variables, you can restrict the members shown on a form, allowing users to focus on specific members, such as a particular department. Use this command to export the values assigned to a single user variable, all user variables set for a specific dimension member, or the variables set for a specific user. The resulting file can be used to import user variable values into another environment using the importUserVariableValues command or the related REST API.

Usage

epmautomate exportUserVariableValues FILE_NAME.csv [variable=VARIABLE][member=MEMBER][userName=USERNAME], where:
  • FILE_NAME identifies the name of a file for storing the exported user variable values. Any existing file with this name will be overwritten. The export process creates a .CSV formatted file.
  • variable, optionally, exports only the user variable values (user names, dimensions, and members) associated with the specified user variable.
  • member, optionally, exports only the user variable values (users, dimensions, and variables) associated with the specified dimension member.
  • userName, optionally, exports only the user variable values (dimensions, variables, and members) applicable to the specified user.

Note:

  • By default, if you do not specify a variable, member or user, this command exports the values of all user variables associated with all members and users.
  • You can export user variable values using a combination of variable, member, and userName values.

Examples

  • Exports the user variable values associated with a specific user and dimension member: epmautomate exportUserVariableValues myExportFile.csv member=Account1 userName=example@example.com
