Migrating data from Salesforce to other tool(like ALM)?

Hi,

Is there any way I can transfer my data from Salesforce to other tool(like ALM)?

I know that Dataloader can be used, but My problem is mainly with the documents(word,ppt,images etc.) associated with the records.How will I extract them?

Many thanks in advance :)

Hello,

Data Loader currently does not support the extraction of attachments. As a workaround, we recommend that you use the weekly export feature in the online application to export attachments.

Please have a look at following 3rd party tools :

File Exporter (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000003Iz0jEAC)

Data loader (https://dataloader.io/dealing-attachments)

Try free Salesforce data loader (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/salesforce-data-loader) by Skyvia. The service allows to easily export Salesforce data to CSV files with atachments stored in ZIP file. You can then associate atachments with corresponding records by ParentID.
