Export and Download Application Data

Use these scripts to export application data and then to download it to a local directory.

These scripts perform the following operations:

• Signs in to an environment.
• Backs up two sets of data using the jobs that you specify.
• Downloads the exported data files.
• Signs out.

Windows Sample Script

Create exportDownloadData.ps1 by copying this script. Save it to a local directory.

$inputproperties = ConvertFrom-StringData(Get-Content ./input.properties -raw)
$username="$($inputproperties.username)"
$passwordfile="$($inputproperties.passwordfile)"
$serviceURL="$($inputproperties.serviceURL)"
$exportFile1="$($inputproperties.exportFile1)"
$exportFile2="$($inputproperties.exportFile2)"
$exportDataJobName1="$($inputproperties.exportDataJobName1)"
$exportDataJobName2="$($inputproperties.exportDataJobName2)"

epmautomate login ${username} ${passwordfile} ${serviceURL}
epmautomate exportdata ${exportDataJobName1} ${exportFile1}
epmautomate exportdata ${exportDataJobName2} ${exportFile2}
epmautomate listfiles
epmautomate downloadfile ${exportFile1}
epmautomate downloadfile ${exportFile2}
epmautomate logout

Linux/UNIX Sample Script

Create exportDownloadData.sh by copying this script. Save it to a local directory.

#!/bin/bash
. ./input.properties
export JAVA_HOME=${javahome}
${epmautomatescript} login "${username}" "${passwordfile}" "${serviceURL}"
${epmautomatescript} exportdata "${exportDataJobName1}" "${exportFile1}"
${epmautomatescript} exportdata "${exportDataJobName2}" "${exportFile2}"
${epmautomatescript} listfiles
${epmautomatescript} downloadfile "${exportFile1}"
${epmautomatescript} downloadfile "${exportFile2}"
${epmautomatescript} logout

Creating the input.properties File

Create the input.properties file by copying one of the following and updating it with information for your environment. Save the file in the directory where exportDownloadData.ps1 or exportDownloadData.sh is stored.

Windows

username=exampleAdmin
passwordfile=examplePassword.epw
serviceURL=exampleURL
exportFile1=FILE_NAME.zip
exportFile2=FILE_NAME.zip
exportDataJobName1=JOB_NAME
exportDataJobName2=FILE_NAME

Linux/UNIX

javahome=JAVA_HOME
epmautomatescript=EPM_AUTOMATE_LOCATION
username=exampleAdmin
passwordfile=examplePassword.epw
serviceURL=exampleURL
exportFile1=FILE_NAME.zip
exportFile2=FILE_NAME.zip
exportDataJobName1=FILE_NAME
exportDataJobName2=FILE_NAME

Table 3-19 input.properties Parameters

Parameter	Description
javahome	JAVA_HOME location. For Linux/UNIX only.
epmautomatescript	Absolute path of EPM Automate executable (epmautomate.sh). For Linux/UNIX only.
username	User name of a Service Administrator, who also has the Identity Domain Administrator role.
password	Password of the Service Administrator or the name and location of the encrypted password file.
serviceURL	URL of the environment from which you want to generate the snapshot.
exportFile1 and exportFile2	Name of the file to which data is to be exported.
exportDataJobName1 and exportDataJobName2	Job to use for exporting the data.

Running the Scripts

1. Create exportDownloadData.ps1 or exportDownloadData.sh by copying the script from a preceding section.
2. Create the input.properties file and save it in the directory where the exportDownloadData script is located. Contents of this file differs depending on your operating system. See Table 3-19.

   Make sure that you have write privileges in this directory. For Windows, you may need to start PowerShell using the Run as Administrator option to be able to run the script.

3. Launch the script.
   • Windows PowerShell: run exportDownloadData.ps1.
   • Linux/UNIX: run ./exportDownloadData.sh.
