Export Changes Command
Once changes have been made on the source system, they can be previewed and exported. The export command can be used with various options to preview changes made to administrative objects and then to export those changes into a ZIP file. The exported ZIP file is named using the following naming convention: <packagename>_<targetname>_<exportID>.zip

Description
-v
--previewOnly
Preview: Yes
Export: No
Provides an CSV file that lists identifying information for the objects that are ready to be exported from the system. Use this option to verify that the expected administrative changes are included in the exported data.
-t
--target
Preview: No
Export: No
Name of the target system to which the exported ZIP file will be sent. The target system name is the same as the name specified in the manageRepository command.
It is not mandatory to register a target system during export.
-n
--name
Preview: Yes
Export: Yes
Recommended option when multiple exports are expected for the same target system.
Name of the package created to hold the ZIP file output. If additional export operations are expected with the same data, creating a package with a name that you remember is recommended. For example, you can use the --refresh option on the package at a future time to create an incremental export to the same target system. You can also send the same package to a different target system.
-d
--description
Preview: No
Export: No
This option creates a description for the package created to hold the ZIP file output. The description for the package can contain information about the type of data exported to the target system.
-s
--objectType
Preview: Yes
Export: Yes
The object types to be exported. The following object types are available for export:
All: Export additions and changes made to all supported object types.
PolicyAccessControlRule: Export new, updated, and deleted policy access control rules. When exporting to a synchronized system, information about deleted policy access control rules is also included.
Profile: Export new, updated, and deleted profiles. When exporting to a synchronized system, information about deleted profiles is also included.
OIR: Export new, updated, and deleted object initialization rules.
Preference: Export new, updated, and deleted preferences.

DocumentTemplate: Export new, updated, and deleted document templates.
ReportTemplate: Export new, updated or iterated, and deleted report templates.
specfile.xml: Upload an XML file which specifies the objects that need to be collected for export. This option is available only if you have set the com.ptc.windchill.bac.features.enabled property in wt.properties to 2666518. Without this configuration, any attempt to upload a spec file will be rejected with an error. This option is available for both selective, synchronized modes and development modes.
When you use this option in a synchronized mode, you can export only a specific list of object types. Containers, domains, or attributes are not supported in the XML spec file in synchronized mode systems. For more information about the spec file, see Creating a Spec XML File.
For more information about the supported object types, see Objects Supported for Business Administrative Change Promotion.

The resulting preview file contains the following information:
