Catalog Manager error: path not found

Question

Hi there,

I'm exporting catalog objects using Catalog Manager CLI. While I can pull catalog objects per object type, I get lot of error lines that say "path not found" and the specific path. I checked a few paths that caused the error, but none of them actually exists. Why this error keeps happening? and how can I resolve this not to see this error when I generate .report files?

Thanks,

Juhee

Thanks, it does help :)

Is is possible that the account you are using doesn't have the permissions to access the paths that are reported as "not found" ?

When using runcat in online mode, the security is fully enforced (while when using offline mode, there is no security enforced at all), and therefore sometime you can see that an object exist, but you then can't access anything about it and therefore you get those messages.

Can you try running the same in offline mode and see if you have the same errors or some new ones?

Hi @Gianni Ceresa,

Thanks for your advice.

Here is a snippet of my script that calls runcat.

RUNCATCMD="../../bin/runcat.sh"

$RUNCATCMD -cmd report -online "https://.../analytics-ws/saw.dll" -credentials "credentials.txt" -excelFormat -outputFile "XXX.report -folder "/shared" -type "All"  -fields "Path:Name:Signature:Creator:Created:ACL"

Hope this gives a better picture.

Thanks,

Hi @User_CAIGP ,

Can you share some more details? Because without it is quite difficult to provide a valid answer that has a chance to be useful, helpful or based on something you are facing.

Starting by the product (and version) you are working with, what your runcat command look like, what the errors looks like etc. Just all the information that allows others not seeing your screen to fully understand your current situation. Runcat is around for so long and does just work in general, therefore there should be something that explain what you are seeing, and it could be obvious or less, but better to start by having a clear picture of what you are doing and how and where :)
