Hi Group,

I am working on the CommCare Export Tool for some data export requirement.
I go succeeded to export plain form's data from this tool. Now I have
following queries for this tool.

we have installed/configured commcare-export tool at our test
environment, and got succeeded to export plain form's data as per the
details shared at
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Data+Export+Tool
.

Further, we have some queries regarding commcare-export tool, and it
would be your great help for us by answering these:

  1. From commcare-export tool's, export options, I am not seeing any
    parameter/options to specify date range to get monthly data. It will
    require to export monthly data from commcare-export

  2. How can I export data directly to local database of MySQL. It has
    database export option, but that is URL based. My question is lies with
    local instance of MySQL, i.e. local IP and port based installation.

  3. How query file is related with form data? Refer "--query" parameter of
    commcare-export tool.

  4. Should I need to first 'create export' in CommCare Web UI, then use
    commcare-export tool?

  5. Is there any documentation/blog to explore all options/parameters of
    commcare-export command. If so, please share.

  6. How to export data (using commcare-export tool), if I have multiple

Hi Group,

I am working on the CommCare Export Tool for some data export requirement.
I go succeeded to export plain form's data from this tool. Now I have
following queries for this tool.

we have installed/configured commcare-export tool at our test
environment, and got succeeded to export plain form's data as per the
details shared at https://confluence.dimagi.c
om/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Data+Export+Tool.

Further, we have some queries regarding commcare-export tool, and it
would be your great help for us by answering these:

  1. From commcare-export tool's, export options, I am not seeing any
    parameter/options to specify date range to get monthly data. It will
    require to export monthly data from commcare-export

You can specify a --since parameter to get all forms from a certain
submission date (
GitHub - dimagi/commcare-export: A command-line tool and Python library to generate customized exports from CommCareHQ.)

  1. How can I export data directly to local database of MySQL. It has
    database export option, but that is URL based. My question is lies with
    local instance of MySQL, i.e. local IP and port based installation.

You should still be able to export to a local database using the --output
parameter. All mysql instances should have a URL that you can connect
trying looking up some information on MySQL connection string.

  1. How query file is related with form data? Refer "--query" parameter of
    commcare-export tool.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but you can check out some
examples here:
commcare-export/examples at master · dimagi/commcare-export · GitHub. The query
file dictates which properties to include and how to map them.

  1. Should I need to first 'create export' in CommCare Web UI, then use
    commcare-export tool?

No

  1. Is there any documentation/blog to explore all options/parameters of
    commcare-export command. If so, please share.

We have a page here you can look at:
CommCare Data Export Tool - CommCare Public - CommCare Public.
You can also check out the readme on the github page:
GitHub - dimagi/commcare-export: A command-line tool and Python library to generate customized exports from CommCareHQ.

  1. How to export data (using commcare-export tool), if I have multiple
    applications, multiple modules and multiple forms in each module, in my
    project.

Please see documentation from the links pasted above

Hi Ben,

The --since parameter is clear now, however still there is no option for
specifying Date Range.
Also, MySQL DB URL is not much clear. Can you please give some detail on
this context.

Hi Ajay

There is no way to specify a date range however if you are exporting to
MySQL then the export tool will maintain it's own state and only fetch data
since the previous time it was run.

The format of the MySQL URL is: 'mysql://username:password@host
/database_name
