Script to export reports to individual XML Files

[madhuv]

Hi ,

We have a requirement to delete old unused reports (10000+). But Management wants to keep the back up of old reports in the individual XML files, lets say if 100 reports are there , they want to have 100 xml files of each report. Do we have any bulk export mechanism or any scripting to keep take them all individually and save them with their respective names, instead of taking all into XML.?

Regards

Madhu

Hello Yash,

Thanks for your response. But the provided links does not help as what we are looking is to export  them as individual files not into single file.

Hi Madhu,

one thing you can try is this using your javascript executor

when it runs it will ask you whether to save or open the file.

you try this in chrome so that it auto-downloads

Short cut - Ctrl + Shift + Alt + J

downloadFiles();

function downloadFiles(){
var sysIdArray = ['sys_id1','sys_id2']; // give here those 100 record sys_ids

for(var i=0;i<sysIdArray.length;i++){
var gr = new GlideRecord('tableName');
gr.addQuery('sys_id', sysIdArray[i]);
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
var url = '/tableName_list.do?XML&sysparm_query=sys_id=' + sysIdArray[i];
window.open(url);
}
}
}

When I tried to do it 

var url = '/tableName_list.do?XML&sysparm_query=sys_id=xxxxxxx';
window.open(url);

Chrome open the xml file in a new tab instead of asking me to download it
