Exporting objects to separate files

This procedure describes how to extract each object to a separate file using the UC4 File Explorer.

To extract each object to a separate file:

1. In the UC4 File Explorer click Search.

   The Search window appears.

2. In the Name field, type *.
3. In the Search For field, select the Objects and then from the dropdown list, select the object type you want to export (such as jobs).
4. Click Start.

   A list of search results appears.

5. Right click on one of the objects, and select Export.

   The Save dialog box appears.

6. Save the file as .csv.
7. Create a new directory and place the .csv file you saved in step 8 in the new directory.
8. Run the following script:

   :SET &HOST# = "<name of Host>"

   :SET &CSV_FILE# = "<name of the file and full directory of the exported objects to csv>"

   :SET &EXPORT_PATH# = "<name of the target path directory>"

   :SET &HND#=PREP_PROCESS_FILE(&HOST#,&CSV_FILE#,,"COL=DELIMITER",'DELIMITER=";"')

   :PROCESS &HND#

   : SET &Line#=GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,1)

   : PRINT "<&Line#>"

   : SET &OBJECT# = &Line#

   : SET &File# = "&EXPORT_PATH#&line#.xml"

   : SET &Ret# = EXPORT (&Object#, &File#)

   :ENDPROCESS
