    Where

    < filename >.PRTX is an input file that specified what is to be dumped to the export file

    < prt_system > is the prefix of the PRT data server you wish to export from. Specify ALL if all data servers should be connected.

    < prt_node > is the node where the PRT servers are running. Specify LOCAL if they are on the same node.
