Extract cube/file to local path

Jacob Hellman

The question below relate to a cloud installation of Board (v 12.4)

Is it possible with a procedure (Extract cube) to write the file to a path locally on the user's computer. Shouldn't write the file to Azure Storage.

Hello Jacob Hellman,

you can extract the cube only to path Z or to the local disk of the Cloud Server (C or D).

If you want to extract this cube on the local PC, you can reload this extraction on a Blob cube by User that can be download directly in BOARD.
