Batch export properties

		option = value

provider_url

This property is required. Provider URL of the server instance in the format host:port.

For example: myserver.ibm.com:9080

target_dir

This property is required. File output directory.

The default path is C:\output\.

export_wrapper

This property is required. The CSV wrapper default is double quotation marks.

timestamp_format

This property is required. A string that defines the format for time stamps that are used in CSV exports. When you perform an XML export, the batch export uses the time stamp format that is mandated by the XML specification.

The default is timestamp_format = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz"
