Delivery Manager Tool - Information - Package Extraction - How to get Castextraction file

This page provides information on how to get the .castextraction file.

Here this page is explained by taking an example for Sybase, however this is valid for Oracle, MS SQL server, DB 2 as well.

In Delivery Manager Tool, we have two option for the extraction:

1. CAST Extraction for Sybase
2. Reuse existing CAST delivery output

With 1st option i.e. CAST Extraction for Sybase: The .castextraction is inside the sources.CastSourcePackage of delivery folder.To get this you need to unzip it and it is inside the Meta Folder

For example : sources.CastSourcePackage is placed at :
XXXXX\Delivery\CAST\CASTMS\Delivery\data\{c6a7175d-8735-4acc-8df0-56b50fe44be3}\{9b6e65d7-38bc-4d17-9763-e51ea91a6cca}\{6ff73ff5-7280-422b-8465-32a6e4daebb2}\

After Unzip, It is can at:
XXXXX\Delivery\CAST\CASTMS\Delivery\data\{c6a7175d-8735-4acc-8df0-56b50fe44be3}\{9b6e65d7-38bc-4d17-9763-e51ea91a6cca}\{6ff73ff5-7280-422b-8465-32a6e4daebb2}\sources\meta\squirrel.castextraction

With 2nd option i.e. Reuse existing CAST delivery output: The .castextarction is not created in sources.CastSourcePackage and hence not in Delivery folder.

You can retrieve these .castextraction files on the machine where you have run the Extraction/delivery processing.
The default location is : C:\Documents and Settings<User>\exportResults

Note:
Delivery folder is also fetched with Sherlock, but to get the sources.CastSourcePackage, you need to make sure to select the option : "Allow export source code" as shown below.
