Routine CSV Export without DataPort

This post is in response to a question on the forum.  The question asked how DataPort could be used to routinely export 3 fields from a record saved search into a CSV file and 2 fields from a location saved search into a separate CSV file.  Here I'll show how to accomplish this with powershell.

First I wrote out the script...

Add-Type -Path "D:\Program Files\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\Content Manager\HP.HPTRIM.SDK.dll"
 
$recordSearchSaveName = "My Saved Records"
$userSavedSearchName = "My Saved Users"
$recordCsv = "c:\temp\records.csv"
$userCsv = "C:\temp\locations.csv"
 
$db = New-Object HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Database
$db.Connect()
 
$records = New-Object HP.HPTRIM.SDK.TrimMainObjectsearch -ArgumentList $db, Record
$records.SearchString = "saved:[$($recordSearchSaveName)]"
 
$recordResults = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
foreach ( $record in $records ) {
    $obj = new-object PSObject
    $obj | add-member -membertype NoteProperty -name "title" -value "$(([HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Record]$record).Title)"
    $obj | add-member -membertype NoteProperty -name "number" -value "$(([HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Record]$record).Number)"
    $obj | add-member -membertype NoteProperty -name "barcode" -value "$(([HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Record]$record).Barcode)"
    $recordResults.Add($obj) | Out-Null
}
 
$users = New-Object HP.HPTRIM.SDK.TrimMainObjectsearch -ArgumentList $db, Location
$users.SearchString = "saved:[$($userSavedSearchName)]"
 
$userResults = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
foreach ( $user in $users ) {
    $obj = new-object PSObject
    $obj | add-member -membertype NoteProperty -name "title" -value "$(([HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Location]$user).FullFormattedName)"
    $obj | add-member -membertype NoteProperty -name "number" -value "$(([HP.HPTRIM.SDK.Location]$user).Barcode)"
    $userResults.Add($obj) | Out-Null
}
 
$recordResults | Export-Csv -Path $recordCsv -NoTypeInformation
Write-Host "Exported Records to $recordCsv"
$userResults | Export-Csv -Path $userCsv -NoTypeInformation
Write-Host "Exported Locations to $userCsv"

Then I ran it...

And my results matched my expectations...

Now just schedule this powershell to run on your defined schedule!
