Extracts WebCatalog objects from an OTBI server to 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 OTBI project which is used for build and deployment to source from a source code repository rather than directly from a development instance of OTBI.
Endpoint Tip
This operation uses HTTPS to communicate remotely to the OTBI server, and therefore, can be executed on any endpoint (including LOCALHOST).

Artifacts
This operation does not produce any artifacts.
Endpoint Selection
This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the Target. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the Target which have that resource defined.
Endpoint Execution
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
