API Type for Full System Metadata Export

Avatar photoCustomer December 30, 2020 at 11:32 pm

During the final stage of deployment from our test environment, we need to export everything—reports, LOVs, categories, templates—in a single file. What `p_type` value ensures this comprehensive export?

      For a comprehensive export of all report metadata, you set the `p_type` parameter in `XXEN_API.export_file_data` to ‘All Contents’. This is typically the recommended option for migration from a test environment to production.

      Does this single file export automatically include profile option values?

      The ‘All Contents’ export includes report definitions and related metadata. To export Blitz Report related profile option values, you should export those separately using the function with `p_type` set to ‘Profile Option Values’, which generates a SQL script that can be run on the destination system.
