The following command exports the dstage2 project from the R101 server to the dstage2.dsx file:

dscmdexport /D=domain:9080 /H=R101 /U=billg /P=paddock 
dstage2 C:\temp\dstage2.dsx

Messages from the export are sent to the console by default, but can be redirected to a file by using the greater than symbol (>). In the following example, the messages from the export are sent to the C:\temp\exportlog directory:

dscmdexport /D=domain:9080 /H=R101 /U=billg /P=paddock dstage99 
C:\temp\project99.dsx /V  > C:\temp\exportlog
