Is the list of computer/directory locations where the flat files will be written in round robin fashion. Multiple paths can be specified, separated by semicolons (

;

) or by new lines. The whole parameter value must be contained in single quotation marks (

' '

). Note that paths can have spaces, but if the last directory in the path ends with a space, terminate it with a slash or backslash

Is the root name of the output flat file(s). Each flat file will be given the name

fileprefix

.

nnn

, where

nnn

is a number that increases incrementally with each new file from

000

to

NUMBEROFFILES-1

. The FILEPREFIX value must be contained in single quotation marks (

' '

).

Is the number of flat files that will be created during the export (maximum:

1000

). Note that the size of each file will not necessarily be equal, as there are a number of factors influencing flat file size.

Default. the number of active Data Vault Agent processes, which excludes those Data Vault Agents dedicated to internal tasks

Is the character used to "escape" the column delimiter, row delimiter, null character, or the escape character itself in the exported data. When the escape character immediately precedes one of those special characters, that character should be interpreted as part of the data. The escape character is a single character, defined in hexadecimal form, and contained in single quotation marks (

' '

). For example, the hexadecimal '\x5c' represents the backslash character "\".

Default is

\x1b

(the ESC character).

.

Is the character that signifies the end of a row and the start of a new one in the exported data. The row delimiter is a single character, defined in hexadecimal form, and contained in single quotation marks (

' '
