@Since 5.6.0.6

Extracts WebCatalog objects from an OTBI 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 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).
