Exporting library content by using the command line

Instead of using the Library Administration tool in Spotfire Analyst, you can export content from the library by using the command line.

Before you begin

You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire Server.

For general information about library administration, see the Spotfire Analyst User's Guide.

Open a command line as an administrator and go to the <server installation dir>/tomcat/spotfire-bin directory.
On the command line, enter the export-library-content command, specifying the options needed to import the ZIP file.
Example:
```
config export-library-content --tool-password=password --file-path=C:/YearEndAnalyses --user=jdoe --item-type=analysis_files --library-path=/Finals/Europe
```
For more information, see export-library-content.

The progress of the export is displayed on the command line.

The exported folder and its contents are saved as a ZIP file. The exported items are not removed from the library.
