I think I remember this GD University course showing examples of the gdc-catalog-export functionality. It appears to have been moved or taken down. Is that correct?

08/03/2023, 9:14 PMHi Levi,
Thank you for reporting this and sorry for the trouble. I will double-check this with our Education team.

08/03/2023, 9:15 PMExcellent. I have another question about the catalog export functionality that I've been unable to get a response on. https://gooddataconnect.slack.com/archives/C01UR5BGAHY/p1691015112591519
Any idea what is causing the error I'm encounting?

May I know what article are you referring to, please? Have you tried to follow these steps?
https://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui/docs/gdc_catalog_export.html

08/03/2023, 9:34 PMHmmmm while it looks very similar, the one I was using is a different URL:
https://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui/docs/export_catalog.html
How did you find your particular documentation?

08/03/2023, 9:41 PMI’ve simply used the first article from the search.
But I have to admit, this is pretty strange.
Looks like I will need to get in touch with our Documentation team as well, as per I would expect just one article with instructions under the certain SDK version. Once again, I am really sorry for the inconveniences.

08/03/2023, 9:46 PMIn either event, I looked through the article you sent. It appears to use a very similar approach:
1. .gdcatalogrc with my values
2. run
npx @goodatat/catalog-exportexamplei

08/03/2023, 9:58 PMSorry to hear so.
Unfortunately, I am no expert in this field, but I will get one of our engineers involved as soon as possible.

08/04/2023, 6:50 AMHi there Levi, just to double-check, have you also included the "backend" parameter in your .gdcatalogrc? The default behavior of the export tool is to assume it's communicating with the GD platform if not specified otherwise.
l
Levi Liester
08/04/2023, 6:27 PMGood suggestion, and yes, I believe I have. Here is the .gdcatalogrc file with some redacted information for security:
Copy code
{
"hostname": "<http://example.cloud.gooddata.com|example.cloud.gooddata.com>",
"workspaceId": "redacted workspace id",
"catalogOutput": "catalog.js",
"backend": "tiger",
"token": "redacted token"

08/07/2023, 4:31 PMI also submitted a ticket for this issue: #116005
If I understand correctly, the request was to bring it back to this slack channel so the engineers and developers could interact with my inquiry?
@Radek Novacek how can I get some guidance on this issue?

08/08/2023, 7:09 AMHi Levi, sorry for the delay! The parameters are correct and I'm still looking into this, let me come back to you promptly 🙂

08/08/2023, 9:06 AMSo, one more thing from your setup - you mentioned you essentially made your own refresh-md since the docs mention it without specifying; can you share it as well? We can always move into private messages if you have anything you'd rather not share publicly of course.
Radek Novacek
08/08/2023, 12:27 PMAnd to add one more, since we're communicating on a bit of a different timezone, to avoid taking this one step at a time - could you try to run the GD catalog export with the hostname specified as a command line parameter? (as in
npx @gooddata/catalog-export --hostname <http://your.hostname.com|your.hostname.com>l

08/08/2023, 3:44 PMI'll give that a try and get the answer to your questions
