11g LCM Export Utility Options

You have the following options to use 11g LCM Export Utility to export from Essbase 11g On-Premise.

Syntax

EssbaseLCM.bat|.sh export -server essbasehost:port -user username -password password -application
      appname -zipfile zipfilename [-nodata] [-include-server-level] [-converttoutf8] [-forceutf8]
      [-generateartifactlist] [-exportepmroles] [-allApp] [-exportdata]
          [-cube] [-filetype] [-partitions] [-filters]

Notes

• You can specify -converttoutf8 option during export to automatically convert the Essbase 11g On-Premise block storage application to Unicode, before exporting it to a .zip file. Note that this will convert the source block storage application to Unicode; it is recommended to run a backup before specifying this option.

• You can specify the options/arguments in any order.

• To prompt for a password, do not include the -password option.

• To skip the export of application data, specify -nodata, which is an optional argument. By default, all application data is exported.

-exportepmroles	(Optional) Exports Essbase roles from Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) source.
-generateartifactlist	Optional. Generate a text file containing a complete list of the exported artifacts. You can use this text file to manage the import of artifacts.

You can skip importing some artifacts by removing or commenting out items in the list.
-include-server-level	(Optional) Include server-level artifacts, such as server-level substitution variables and server-level roles. Requires system administrator role.
