Using repimexp.exe for Importing, Exporting, and Creating a File Dump
The repimexp.exe program imports, exports, or creates a file dump of a repository. It can also do an INTL table import. INTL tables contain language-specific information and are a part of the repository.
You would rarely need to use repimexp.exe directly—you would use the configuration utility instead. The only circumstances when you would run repimexp.exe directly might be:
- You need to run repimexp.exe with special parameter settings that are inaccessible through the batch files.
- You need to perform a file dump.
To import a repository using repimexp
- In the command line, type the following:
repimexp /A I /G language_codes
where language_codes is a list such as ENU, FRA, JPN. Use ALL for all languages.
NOTE: If you want to import your repository with locale objects, you must specify at least one language code. Otherwise no locale objects will be imported. Therefore, when you compile the imported repository, it will not have any text in the user interface.
To export a repository using repimexp
- In the command line, type the following:
repimexp /A E argument_list
Export uses the arguments listed in Table 72.
