1  EXPORT

2  DATABASE
   Exports the entire OpenVMS Registry database contents to a text
   format file.

   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 DATABASE 

3  Qualifiers

/FORMAT

   /FORMAT=NT
   /FORMAT=OPENVMS (default)

   Specifies the format in which the system writes the database.

				NOTE
   If you intend to import the database to an OpenVMS system, you
   should not specify /FORMAT=NT.  Doing so will not preserve OpenVMS
   specific structures which are needed to import to OpenVMS. 

/LOG

   Displays the export progress to the screen.
 

/OUTPUT

   /OUTPUT=file-name

   Specifies a name for the exported file. The default output file
   name is REGISTRY.TXT.
 
/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. 
 

3  Example

       REG> EXPORT DATABASE/LOG/OUTPUT=TUES_VERSION.TXT/FORMAT=OPENVMS
       REG> EXPORT DATABASE/LOG/OUTPUT=TUES_VERSION.TXT

     The EXPORT command in these examples logs the progress of the
     export to the screen as the system exports the entire OpenVMS
     Registry database to the TUES_VERSION.TXT file in OpenVMS
     format.
 
       REG> EXPORT DATABASE/LOG/OUTPUT=TUES_VERSION.TXT/FORMAT=NT

     The EXPORT command in this example logs the progress of the
     export to the screen as the system exports the entire OpenVMS
     Registry database to the TUES_VERSION.TXT file in Windows NT
     format.
 
2  KEY
   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. 


3  Qualifiers
 
/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.
 

/LOG

   Displays the export progress to the screen.
 

/OUTPUT

   /OUTPUT=file-name

   Specifies a name for the exported file. The default output file
   name is REGISTRY.TXT.
 
/SUBKEY

   /SUBKEY
   /NOSUBKEYS (default)

   Specifies whether or not the key's subkeys are also to be exported.

/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.
