Exports a specific OpenVMS Registry database key (and optionally
its subkeys) to a text format file. /NOSUBKEYS is the default.
The default file format is OpenVMS format. You can also specify
that the file be exported as a Windows NT-compatible text file
format, which you can use to import key names and values into a
Windows Registry.
This command requires the SYSPRV privilege.
Format:
EXPORT KEY key-name
key-name
Specifies the name of the key to be exported.
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /FORMAT
/FORMAT=NT
/FORMAT=OPENVMS (default)
Specifies the format in which the system writes the database.
NOTE
If you intend to import the exported text file to an OpenVMS
system, do not specify /FORMAT=NT. NT Export Registry File
format does not preserve OpenVMS specific data structures.
1.2 /LOG
Displays the export progress to the screen.
1.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=file-name
Specifies a name for the exported file. The default output file
name is REGISTRY.TXT.
1.4 /SUBKEY
/SUBKEY
/NOSUBKEYS (default)
Specifies whether or not the key's subkeys are also to be exported.
1.5 /WAIT
/WAIT=seconds (default = 90)
/NOWAIT
Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that you are
willing to wait for command completion. If the Registry server
does not complete the request in the specified interval, REG$CP
returns REG-F-NORESPONSE. The default interval is 90 seconds.
/NOWAIT is equivalent to specifying /WAIT=0, but there may still
be a short wait period.
