Extracting MetaData Using Outline Load Utility

Planning 11.1.2.1 - Extracting Meta-Data using OutlineLoad utility

With the recent release of 11.1.2.1 the utility brings in the option to export dimension metadata which I didn't see mentioned in the planning new features document, so the utility has evolved as not just a loader but an extractor as well.

The utility is available on the machine where planning has been deployed in the folder <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1\

To extract a dimensions metadata it is as simple as executing:-

bash>./Outlineload.sh /A:<application> /U:<username> /D:<Dimension-name> /E:<OutputFileName>

 for Example:

./OutlineLoad.sh /A:RDAPP /U:training /D:Account /E:DimExtract.csv

  

Extracted Meta-Data file will be generated in same format by which we load the metadata .
