ExportUtil
Feature Description
Use this application to export objects from ALVAO Asset Management to a standard CSV file. The application will export only active Registry assets, i.e. "disposed assets", "recycle bin", and other system objects will be excluded from the export.
Command Line Syntax
ExportUtil /csv "CSV file name and path" {/conn "connection string" | /server "database server name" /db "database name"} /cols "column list" [/NotEmpty "column name"] [/TemplateFolder "folder name"]
Detailed Description of Parameters
| Parameter |
Description |
| /csv |
Name and path of the CSV file to which the object data will be exported. |
/conn
/server
/db |
These parameters contain connection settings for the ALVAO database. You can use connection strings (e.g. /conn "Data source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security = True"), or enter a specific SQL server and database (e.g. /server ".\sqlexpress" /db "test").
If you use the /server and /db parameters, the system will connect to the database using Integrated Windows Authentication. If you specify all parameters, only the /conn parameter will be used. The parameters /server and /db will be ignored. |

Export only certain object kinds in object templates under a certain folder. The parameter here is the folder name.
Note: The folder name can be specified without diacritics. |
