Importing and Exporting Repositories Using Repimexp

Import and export repositories using the repimexp.exe program only if your migration requires special parameters settings that are inaccessible through the batch files or if you need to perform a file dump. In all other cases, use the configuration utility.

For information on using the configuration utility, see Running the Repository Migration Configuration Utility. For further information on the process of migrating repositories, see Process for Migrating Repositories.

The repimexp.exe program imports, exports, or creates a file dump of a repository. It can also import an INTL table. INTL tables contain language-specific information and are a part of the repository.

To import a repository using repimexp

• In the command line, type the following:

  repimexp /A I /G language_codes

  where:

  language_codes = 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, and the repository will not have any text in the user interface when you compile the imported repository.

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 4.
