API to export Report Template in Qlik Nprinting

Hi is anyone one aware as to how to export a Report Template using the Qlik Nprinting API's I have had a look at the API reference and this doesn't seem possible. I'm also wondering if it is technically feasible to extract an individual item from the using the Qlik.NPrinting.Manager.exe utility for arguments sake an individual report template. I have had a look at the documentation and it doesn't seem feasible on the surface. The reason that I ask is that we have had a corrupted report template and the only way to do a restore appears to be to restore the whole Nprinting instance rather than just one individual report. It would be really useful if this feature was available.

You are right with all your points.

- there is no API to export report

- the only way to restore is to restore whole repository

(on the above - I have a daily job doing repository backup. Also as a good practice i always export report which goes to production as a zip so I have template and entity tags backed up for each individual one)

The workaround for you would be to

take a backup of current environment
restore environment from old working backup
- export report from there
restore repository from the latest backup
import/replace report from exported one

The whole procedure should take less than 20 min

cheers

Hi @maheshram

how about checking this at https://help.qlik.com ?

API changes and at this stage there is no support for report template export/import

if you're using the QlikNprinting-CLI PowerShell Module the command listed below will let you export the Nprinting report templates.

Invoke-NPRequest -NPE -Path "reports/$($Report.id)/export" -method Post -Data $ExportObj -OutFile $ExportFile -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -WarningVariable warningvar -ErrorVariable errorvar
