Hi Experts!

Every day, I backup my OLAP database using msmdarch utility. Additionally, I
would like to have script of my OLAP database for every day, eg
Sales_20050515, Sales_20050514 and so on.
Generaly, I'm using the "Meta Data Scripter" when creating the script
manualy. But is it possible to include the metada data scripter in everyday
job? ie I would like to run meta data scripter from command line. Does
anybody has some sample?

Another option - use dso / xml conversion utility. Is it possible to run
utility from command like for creating xlm?

Thank you

Ramunas Balukonis

The metadata scripter is an Analysis Manager addin. It cannot be called from
the command line.
The DSO/XML utility has a command line interface.

Dave,
I see, that DsoXmlConsoleClient.exe has only params to run XML->DSO mode. I
need to create xml file from dso. Thank you.

USAGE:
Microsoft.BIPractices.DsoXmlConsoleClient
/file:[path]filename
[/serverNamelapServerName]
[/removeEmptyDimensions:remove]
[/confirmOperation:confirm]

WHERE:
[path]filename location of XML file to convert to DSO
NOTE: must be a valid file path.
This switch IS required.
