Downloads WebCatalog objects from an OBIEE server to the the file system.  This operation can be used from a utility workflow, which can also be augmented to sync the files to a source control management system (such as Git or Subversion). This allows the OBIEE project which is used for build and deployment to source from a source code repository rather than a development instance of OBIEE.
