The OlapUnderground Outline Extractor exports Oracle Essbase outline contents into files. You can select which fields to include in the file. You can export a dimension to a specified file, or export all dimensions, where the file name is the dimension name with a .txt extension. Further, the Outline Extractor functionality can be automated using Command Line functionality by executing the Outline Extractor from a DOS batch file and including Command Line Parameters.
The Outline Extractor was originally written by a group of anonymous Essbase developers who wished to provide utilities for simplifying certain Essbase operations. Due to increasing job responsibilities, the original developers did not have time to maintain the code. We suggested that they Open Source the software and volunteered to maintain this download page. They gave us access to the software and source code and licensed us to distribute it freely with the stipulations detailed in the license agreement which is included with the software.
