Description
The HCL Compass bucket tool,
bkt_tool, provides the ability to export, import, update, and delete the contents of the
Public Queries folder of a user database. This utility is useful when you develop a new schema that
is based on the Blank
or Common
predefined schemas, and you want
to work with queries, charts, and reports that you created in another schema. The utility is also
useful when you are working with test databases. For example, you might want to test queries,
charts, and reports in the test database before introducing schema changes in the production
database. In this case, you can use the bkt_tool export and bkt_tool import
subcommands to export and import, respectively, all the production workspace items to the test
database.
The bkt_tool subcommands let you perform the following tasks:
- Export all the workspace objects from the Public Queries folder of a user database to one or more files.
- Import all these workspace objects into another user database.
- Update the workspace contents for a user database.
- Delete the workspace contents for a user database.
