Export Cognos Objects 

Wed February 15, 2023 05:51 AM

This creates two buttons in Cognos. 

The first attaches to folders and packages, and lets you export a list of all contained objects into CSV format:

The second creates a button on the appbar:

Clicking that will create a CSV file of every single object in Cognos.

This is cool! I'm looking for a way to get a list of object descriptions. Does this export include the object description? Thank you

Thx for creating this, is there any ability to make this extensions available to only specific roles like only for System Administrators?

Thanks for creating this! Unfortunately, it isn't working for me. I'm a noob, this is my first use of an extension, and I'm using 11.1 R2. From what I understand I just need to upload the .zip via Customization but when I try the Export Folder context menu or the Export All Cognos Contents button nothing happens. How can I troubleshoot what's wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!

There was a bug in the first version! It was calling the CogBoxUtils service I wrote to perform the metadata request. Whoops. I changed the code so it should work stand-alone now.
