The Import-Export tool reads export options from an export configuration file. This XML file specifies:

• What type of data to export
• How to package the exported data
• Where to store the exported data

The default export configuration file exportconfiguration.xml is located in the Import-Export Tool's installation directory. You can modify the settings in this file to meet your export requirements. Alternatively, you can make a copy of this file, change the settings in the copy, and specify the copy's filename when you run the batch script.

The export configuration file contains three main types of XML elements:

• Exporter Configuration
• Packager Configuration
• Delivery Configuration
