    Hi David,

    I guess you are looking to export a data module (the same way we did with Framework Manager).

    As of today (with Cognos Analytics v11.2.3), there is no UI to export a data module model as a Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM) file. I am not sure if it is a planned feature.

    Best regards,

    I've added the capability to export Data Module metadata to Excel through CogBox:


    Please note that the "Find Report Dependencies" button is only in the premium version.

    @Paul Mendelson That's nice! We are looking for an export of all data module DATA SOURCES for a collection of (many) data modules. Is this by chance a planned feature of CogBox? ​​

    That's a great idea! I'm thinking about two new rows.

    1. Data Sources (list of all data sources in data module)
    2. Export Metadata (Exports Tables, Columns, and the new Data Sources list) to Excel.

    I've added both to the planned list, but if you have any more ideas please to hesitate to reach out or add them here: https://pmsquare.com/cogbox-feedback

    It's not going to hit the upcoming release (scheduled to be released with 11.2.4) but I'll make sure it gets into the following.
