Exporting data using CouchbaseCLI cbexport error

I tried following the documentation and used the following command for fetching the data from the travel-sample bucket in the JSON format

Command : C:\Program Files\Couchbase\Server\bin>cbexport json -c couchbase://127.0.0.1 -u Administrator -p uity790 -b travel-sample -o F:/travel-sample.json -f lines -t 4

But I am constantly getting this error "JSON export failed: failed to get export transferable: exporting from a collection aware cluster requires scope/collection fields to be provided"

What is the correct way of doing that using the CLI on windows?

Solution

  • Per the 7.0 documentation on cbexport-json:

    --scope-field <scope_field> When exporting from a collection aware cluster this field will be created in each JSON document; it will be used to store the name of the scope the document came from.

    --collection-field <collection_field> When exporting from a collection aware cluster this field will be created in each JSON document; it will be used to store the name of the collection the document came from.

    So it seems like you need to specify those arguments as well. Something like:

    --scope-field couchbaseScope --collection-field couchbaseCollection
