--profile

Three profiles: alvis, dc, and combine . alvis and combine are similar XML formats.

--number

the max number of records to be exported

--recordid

Export just the one record with this recordid

--md5

Export just the one record with this MD5 checksum

--incremental

Exports incrementally, ie all changes since last call to combineExport using --incremental

--xsltscript
