Exporting Data

You can export data from Oracle Linux Automation Manager using the command-line interface.

This task is commonly done to backup your Oracle Linux Automation Manager server. This use case requires that you have installed the command-line interface and have configured an Oauth2 token for your account.

To export data to a json file from Oracle Linux Automation Manager, do the following:

1. Generate the list of resources you want to export.

   awx --conf.host https://192.102.118.107 --conf.token h7a3NPiam8Or4px7Kkoe87cWcTeixz --help
   

   Specify the following options on the command-line interface:

   • --conf.host option to include the HTTPS address of your Oracle Linux Automation Server IP address or hostname.

   • --conf.token option to include the Oauth2 token.

   • --help option to generate help information.

2. Do a partial export of a resource. For example, you can export all users information by entering the following command.

   awx --conf.host https://192.102.118.107 --conf.token h7a3NPiam8Or4px7Kkoe87cWcTeixz export --users > users.json

   The export command followed by the --users resource type generates an export of all user to the users.json file.

3. Do a full export of all resources on your system. For example, enter the following command:

   awx --conf.host https://192.102.118.107 --conf.token h7a3NPiam8Or4px7Kkoe87cWcTeixz export > all_resources.json

   When the export command is used without any resources specified exports all resources to the all_resources.json file.
