Conversion Export Utility Parameters

The following table describes the parameters that you can use with the conversion export utility.

Parameter Description

Filename

Required. Specifies the name of the export file.

Repository

Required. Specifies the name of the repository. The repository name is case sensitive.

Object

Required. Specifies the object type that contains the strings that this utility exports. For example:

Control

The object name is case sensitive.

LogFile

Specifies the name of the log file.

Language

Specifies the language that this utility uses as the primary language to match when it searches for duplicate symbolic strings. For example, each symbolic string includes the following child records:

  • English (ENU)

  • French (FRA)
  • German (DEU)

If you set the Language parameter to ENU, then the conversion export searches for matches between the ENU records. If it finds matches, then it examines the other child records of the other languages. If all child records match, or if one language includes a superset of one of the other languages, then this utility considers them as matching symbolic strings.

MatchMin

Specifies the minimum number of matches in a set of matching symbolic strings before this utility writes them to the file. The default value is 2.

SQLLog

Specifies the SQL log file name. If you set this parameter, then this utility logs all SQL that it runs to this file.

ExcludeNull

Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. If TRUE, then this utility excludes null values for conversion consideration. The default value is TRUE.

UseFullMatch

Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. If TRUE, then this utility matches records against all the other possible match candidates before it discards them. The default value is TRUE.

UseExactMatch

Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. If TRUE, then this utility considers records as a match only if all of the records include the same number of language records, and if the same values exist for each language. It does not consider partial matches. The default value is FALSE.

SkipInactive

Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. If TRUE, and if the Inactive property of the record is set to Y, then this utility skips this record. The default value is TRUE.
