Exporting Metadata and Forms via command line

Ryan Pukanski

Good Day,

I am curious if anyone has had any success with using Formsync via command line to export all non-vendor related items out to XML or SQL files? I am wanting to automate a mass export of our development environment activities on a weekly basis. However, the help file says you need to run it in upgrade or patch mode? So im curious if anyone else has used it for this purpose?

Also - metadata transport I can run via command line however there is a massexportnouiaccessas flag and whenever I use it, AppMetadataTransport crashes and I get no files. If I use massexport it works, however a window pops up and I have to click finish. Again, would like to run via scheduled task.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks
Ryan

Formsync requires an xml file to perform an export correctly. See https://docs.infor.com/mg/2024.x/en-us/mongooseolh/default.html?helpcontent=mgsdug_mg/qbs1472569351454.html&hl=formsync and https://docs.infor.com/mg/2024.x/en-us/mongooseolh/default.html?helpcontent=mgsdug_mg/gkr1472585090997.html

For AppMetadata Transport, something like the following will work:

"C:Program FilesInforMongooseAppMetadataTransport.exe" -action massexportnouiaccessas -sourceConfig CONFIGNAME -accessAs ACCESSAS -targetDir "C:Someplaceonyourcomputer"

Change CONFIGNAME and ACCESSAS to the values required for your export.
