Extracting List of Users from BO Server

Hi All,

 

As an administration requirement we have to extract list of users within our BO server. I looked upon the forum and found that we can use query builder for the purpose.

I used query builder and ran query " Select SI_NAME from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS where SI_NAMEDUSER=1 AND SI_KIND='User' " to list down the users. No issues till this point, the query ran fine and gave list of users in the server but I couldn't find a way to take export of this list. Then I thought of creating a webi report on top of CMS database pulling column "dbo.CMS_Aliases6.Alias" into report but that shows some ids for all enterprise users.

 

Please let me know if there is any other method that I can implement to take export of user list from server. I know this can be achieved using SDK but I want to try it at last.

 

Thanks,

Chandra

    Please before asking mention which version of BO are you using.. if i am not wrong you must be using XI R2 am I right ?

     

    If you are using 3.1 you can easily use Query Results in CMC to check this out and export in .csv format

      Thanks Ravi for your prompt response .

      I am using version 3.1 sp2. As suggested by you I tried looking to create query under 'Query Result' but couldn't create any such query that can bring user list. I might be missing something here as I am new to 'QueryRresult'.

       

      Pls let me know the right way of creating the desired query so that I can get the user list.

       

      Thanks,

      Chandra

        I got the query now. I choose "Everone" in first section i.e. "Query Principal",in second section I selected "Don Not Quey by permission" and in last section i.e. "Query Context" I choose "Users" and this way I got the whole list of users including administrator and guest.

         

        But, now when I am trying to take export of this output nothing is happening . It is not asking me any folder to store csv file.

        Does it store the exported file to some default location??

          Hi

           

          After clicking the Export .

           

          1.Go folders>administration tools folder

          2.Right click on Administrator tools >Security query export >

          3.Click on History

          4 In the History tab ,you will see the program Object schedule(See screen shot2)

          5.Now clicking on the Instance Time link will open a .txt file and shows you the rights

          6. while saveing this file save as in CSV format.

           

          If you want to see only users after saveing the csv , Just apply the filter on Rights collections check only system . It will dis play only the users.

           

          Useing Query Builder also We can do

           

          After Genrated the Report go to file and save as html in your local .

           

          Select the HTML Page and Right click Open with Excel . The report will open in excel .
