Open a DOS prompt and change to the directory where you extracted the Import-Export tool distributable. Launch the batch script:

importexport.bat -e <search_config_file> [-c <export_config_file>] [-l <locale>]
      

where:

• <search_config_file> is the path to the file that contains the search criteria
• <export_config_file> is the path to the file that contains the export configuration. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the Import-Export tool will look for a file named exportconfiguration.xml in the Import-Export tool installation directory
• <locale> is the code of the locale for which you want to export data. This only affects localized data. If no locale is specified, the corresponding data for all locales is exported

During the export operation, information and error messages are printed to the console. Errors are also logged in a file in the logs directory.

If you experience problems during export, see Appendix E - Troubleshooting.
