Export a Contenta database

Use this command to export a Contenta database.

At a command prompt, enter:

source /pdm/bin/pdm.cshrc 
/pdm/bin/dbexport.pl -dbase dbname@sid -o “exportdir”

where dbname@sid is the name of the database you created (see Create a Contenta Database topic), and exportdir is the directory path in which to write the export file.

The output from this command is a single file named dbname.dmp where dbname is the name of the database. It is written to the directory specified in the command (exportdir).
