A.1.3 Using BAMCommand To Export Your Project

When you use BAMCommand to export a project, the project will contain the project artifacts as well as referenced data objects. When designing your source control, note that the project exported zip file will contain data objects and you must plan to extract them into a separate zip file, or delete them if you have exported data objects explicitly
