Using the Repository Import and Export Utility
The Repository Import and Export Utility imports or exports a repository, 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. You use this utility only if your migration requires special parameters settings that a batch file cannot access, or if you must create a file dump. In all other situations, you use the Database Configuration Wizard. For information Using the Database Configuration Wizard to Migrate Repositories. To use the Repository Import and Export Utility
