If your user account has the Read, Write, or Own permission level on a collection, the following command allows you to download that collection to your file system:

dm_download_collection [optional parameter] <source-path> <destination-path>

The following table describes each parameter:

ParameterDescription
-t <num-threads>

If you want to process the files more efficiently with a smoother download, consider specifying the number of threads (from 1 to 32) that you want the system to use while downloading files to DME. Your network and the server directly impact the way the system downloads files. You can set the number of threads so the system has enough memory while processing massive files.

  • For faster processing of your command, use more threads.
  • For faster processing of the system as a whole, use fewer threads.

The default is one thread.

<source-path>A path within DME. Specify the path for the DME collection you want to download.
<destination-path>A path in your file system. Specify where you want the system to create the downloaded file or files.

The following example downloads the Project_Orig collection in DME to a JaneDoe folder in Windows. 

dm_download_collection /Example_Archive/PI_Lab1/Project_Orig /cygdrive/c/Users/JaneDoe
