More info on ExtractDashboardsXml

[NicolasArgente]

Hello Team,
I am trying to extract Dashboard specific items using the ExtractDashboardsXml.
I can only make it work when I use the Options ExtractAllItems = True.
I am running OS 7.4.2
I can not find any information on this formula. I would like to have an example on how we should the extractItems. Can you please provide an example? Especially on what is expected in the extractItems.

ExtractDashboardsXml(_
    ByVal si As SessionInfo, _
    ByVal isSystemLevel As Boolean, _
    ByVal options As XmlExtractOptions, _
    ByVal extractItems As Dictionary(Of XmlExtractItemPk, Boolean) _
)

Thanks!

Hi Nicolas,

I wrote something using this once but cannot find it and remember giving up on it.  Here is what I know about the extractItems:

The Key field is an XmlExtractItemPk that consists of an enum value of type XmlExtractItemType.DashboardComponents and the dashboard Maintenance Unit GUID 

The maintenance unit guids are in the repo.

Dictionary<XmlExtractItemPk, Guid> dict= new Dictionary<XmlExtractItemPk, Guid>();
dict.add(new XmlExtractItemPk(XmlExtractItemType.DashboardComponents, gGuid), true);

I think I experimented with using things other than XmlExtractItemType.DashboardComponents:

public enum XmlExtractItemType 
{
Unknown = -1,
All = 0,
Groups = 1,
Group = 2,
Profiles = 3,
Profile = 4,

Thanks! It seems that the ID of XmlExtractItemType is not consistent. For example in my world, TaskScheduler = 59 and not 63.
I will look into all this in more detail.
Thanks @RobbSalzmann 

If anyone as a BR working with that to share, that would be appreciated.

You probably already know this, just to be sure: The number changes in an enum are normal across versions of a product as new items are added and moved around in the enum.  As a matter of style, always use the name value of the enum and never the number.  The enum itself is the contract between functionality and description.
