Data Extraction

The pdm_extract utility extracts data from the CA Service Desk Manager database and produces output in various formats. You can further process this data or enter it into other applications, such as a spreadsheet or another database.

With the pdm_extract utility, you can do the following:

• Dump the entire CA Service Desk Manager database
• Dump one or more database tables
• Extract specific information from the database and produce output in one of the following three formats:
  • Output compatible with pdm_userload
  • Comma‑separated value (CSV) output
  • Informal report‑style output
