Where are extracted files in a cloud environment?

Previous Member

I know that when an entity or cube is extracted, the files are typically stored in the c:\Board\Database\Database_Name folder. When I attempt to extract files while connected to our cloud instance, I am unable to find these files, whether using the extract functionality from within an entity or a cube, or when attempting to build a procedure.

 

I would have thought the cloud environment might write these files somewhere in the shared storage area that is set up for the cloud instance, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I attempt to build a procedure to extract the files to a local file location, the procedure fails.

 

Where are these files located, and how can I gain access to them?

Mike how are you extracting this data?  Theoretically you still have same file path on the cloud.  If you extract a dimension the .txt file should still fall under c:\board\dataset\DBname.  That is if you do not specify a special directory path.  If you bring up a data reader you see the path in the dialog box.
