### 4.6.3. Converting an Exported Workspace into a Human-readable Format

When you export a workspace, the data is exported in a machine-readable format, which is sufficient for importing the workspace into another server later on. If you want to get a snapshot of the data in the EKM repository, you can use a provided utility script to convert the machine-readable data into a human-readable format.

The script for converting exported data, ekmExportConverter.py, is located in the `EKM_ROOT182/utils/bin` folder (for example, `/server/share/ekm/v182/utils/bin`). The script is accompanied by a README.txt file that provides detailed information on how to execute the script and view the converted data.

Note:

- The ekmExportConverter.py script is designed to run on Linux operating systems only.

- The original exported workspace does not remain intact during conversion, and once converted, cannot be imported into another server to create a new workspace. Therefore, make sure that you either back up the exported workspace or have access to the original workspace before performing the conversion.
