Extracts WebCatalog objects from an OAC server to the file system. This operation is only supported for Package-based projects.
This operation is especially useful to automate the syncing of catalog items to a source control management system.Â
Endpoint Tip
This operation uses HTTP operations to communicate remotely to the OAC 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 the selection of endpoints associated with 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 the previous step may have been executed. Changing this value to "All" will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
