Internal Partner How to retrieve metadata from a Developer Edition Org?: Should provide a valid retrieve manifest 'unpackaged'.
Hi all,
I would like first to retrieve all possible metadata from a Developer Edition org and then deploy this content to another Developer Edition org. Unfortunately you can not build change sets in a Developer Edition environment, so I am trying to retrieve the metadata with ANT.
As there is no possibility for using change sets I have been trying to use the "ant retrieveUnpackaged" after I added the "retrieveUnpackaged" part to the build.xml file according to this link: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.daas.meta/daas/forcemigrationtool_retrieve_unpackaged.htm
When trying to run the command line "ant retrieveUnpackaged" under the correct location, I am getting the error " Should provide a valid retrieve manifest 'unpackaged'." pointing to the line "unpackaged="unpackaged/package.xml"/>". Even when trying many things I could not find out what is wrong or how can I amend this, so the command creates a package.
Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

You can use any IDE like VS code, Eclipse to fetch the metadata from developer edition and use it to "Deploy to Server".
If you are new to Eclipse then refer the link (https://www.adminhero.com/searching-salesforce-metadata-using-the-force-com-ide/).
Do post here if you have any further questions.
Happy Coding.!
