index export start

The index export start command exports the search index to a desired output location in *.zip file format. The *.zip file contains a *.txt file with pipe delimiters and double quotes as text qualifiers. The output file name corresponds to the name of the search index, followed by the time stamp.
  • For Legacy indexes, this command exports only the fields marked as Store when the index is created.
  • For Clustered indexes, this command exports all index fields.
  • The line break type is CRLF for Windows and LF for non-Windows exported files.
