Scheduling an extract of metadata

I'm being asked to schedule an extract of the OneStream metadata.  I'm under the impression that this cannot be done using the Task Scheduler since an extract of metadata is not an option in Data Management.  Is this an accurate statement?  If this can be schedule, how so?

Thanks!

You can create a Business Rule to extract the metadata and then schedule that through Task Scheduler.

I've built this rule successfully.  When I extract this file to my computer, how do I open the zip file?  When I open it I get the following.  I need the xml file of all the dimensions.  Thanks for the feedback!

You have selected to download the file in OneStream format (the down arrow). Double click should open the file in your zip application. Or you can download the file as a zip by clicking on the last icon on the toolbar (piece of paper with a down arrow).
