MDS Export using WLST

1. Launch Weblogic Scripting Tool:

Weblogic_HOME/common/bin>wslt.cmd

2. Connect to weblogic:

connect('weblogic','welcome1','t3://localhost:7001')

3. Verify the list of all available commands:

help(all)

4. List all applications:

listApplications()

5. Check the syntax of the export Metadata command:

help('exportMetadata')

6. Execute the export

exportMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='soa_server1', toLocation='c:\\export')

Please note that on Windows both

toLocation='c:\\export') and toLocation='c:\export') (where the difference is one or two slashes after 'c:') will work.

However, toLocation='c:\export\my_export') will fail with the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\WLS103~1\ORACLE~1\common\wlst\mdsWLSTCommands.py", line 237, in exportMetadata

  WLSTException: MDS-90035: The target directory or archive "c:   ar\export" for exporting metadata is

But, toLocation='c:\\export\\my_export') will work fine
