Question & Answer

Hi,
Is there any way to export whole template as json file. I have tried describe-template api but it gives only metadata of template, doesn’t include whole schema or graphs structure.
please share if this is possible in quicksight or not.
Thank you.

@VaishnaviM ,

You can use the template definition to download the metadata information : describe-template-definition — AWS CLI 1.34.29 Command Reference

Kind regards,

Hi @Koushik_Muthanna ,
As I mentioned in question, I have tried describe-template api but it gives only metadata of template, doesn’t include whole schema or graphs structure.So, If I used this json to update analysis in target account, I dont’t think it would reflect changes in analysis. is there any way to download whole template in json fromat as we can download analysis or dashboard?

thank you

Hi @VaishnaviM ,

As shared by @Koushik_Muthanna , you can use describe template definition. Since you were using describe template, you were getting only the metadata. However, definition will give you the detail you need. The link shared shared by Koushik gives a detail of the expected output.

Thanks,
Prantika
