Today I wanted to learn the new Distributed Agent framework in Oscript. To do that I quickly rigged up a VM and had a oracle export done and imported so it looked like something with some structure.I looked at the EFS attached it was our DEV machines and it had gigs and gigs worth of data.How do I get categories form this system without copying all that trash so I wrote a query to find all files in the category
.
Notice if I could get just those files needed into my VM it would work so after I put them in Excel and derived a formula I put them in Notepad++.The xCopy with the * creates the hierarchy so that I could copy the small category version files all in all about 1.76 MB very easily.
so it created the necessary structure (So I don’t have to mess with the table entries)
after I put them under my new VM’s file path I can see my categories fine
I am pretty sure I can do this for WF maps,form templates and such like but have to learn DA
