bulkretrieve using Force.com Migration Tool returns zero reports
Hello,
As per documentation, SF:bulkRetrieve command can be used to retrieve all reports in bulk(Link below).
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.daas.meta/daas/forcemigrationtool_retrieve_bulk.htm?search_text=Report
When i try retrieving the reports, it gives me following message -
[sf:bulkRetrieve] Total number of items to be retrieved for Metadata type 'Report' = 0
But we do have more than 30,000 reports in system. Any idea why would it throw the message?

e.g. containingFolder="unfiled$public"
so final command in build.xml will look like below
<sf:bulkRetrieve username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}" sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}" maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}" metadataType="${sf.metadataType}" retrieveTarget="retrieveUnpackaged" containingFolder="${sf.containingFolder}"/>
And you will have folder name and metdata type defined in built.properties as show below
sf.metadataType = Report
sf.containingFolder = unfiled$public

May I suggest you please check with below process once and let us know if it works for you.
I'd suggest trying to move just a single report. Just to be clear, the steps are:
- Download a fresh copy of your reports metadata via Eclipse
- Manually edit the package.xml to change the folder of a report. (I think you need to make sure the folder exists on the server, and that you are referring to the developer name of it, e.g. Folder_A/My_report)
- In the underlying file system, move that report to a folder of that name
- In Eclipse, do a project refresh from the local file system (NOT the server)
- In Eclipse, do a save to server the report should move
- If this also does not work, post your package.xml before and after, and the exact steps you followed.
Please let us know if this helps.Best Regards,
