Joe, I know it can be done. I've done it here and seen it done other places. I think you have to go to the directory that the AR Server is installed on and there should be a .exe there that you have to run from a command prompt (but I'm not 100% on that statement above) Exact parameters...don't remember...
It's been awhile since I've done this (2 years) You could always write an API program to do it though too. I do know that the API commands to export code can be found in the API reference guide. Sorry Joe I can't be more help on how to do it, I can just tell you that I know it can be done. HTH Matt P. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 9:34 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Command line usage of aradmin.exe to export 'specific' filters... ** Hello listers, I would like to know if anyone has used the aradmin.exe to export from the command line a list of filters that I have queried for and save the definition file in an XML format. The aim of my operation is to edit this def file for all filters that contain set fields actions from a SQL Command. Its not very easy to do it if I save the filters in a .def definition file format as I will then need to consider the altered length of the SQL Command and they are over 600 filters so that would be a pain. An XML file is free of that format as we do not need to consider length of the statement. I have already designed an sql query that pulls the right set of filters that I need to alter ignoring filters that contain queries to the meta tables and filters that contain $fieldid$ in its statements, so all I need to know is if it is possible to use aradmin.exe from the command line to export this set of filters to an XML definition file.
