Description

The Export-VamtData cmdlet exports specified product data and product-key data from a dep_firstref_vamt database to a portable cilx file. You can use this .cilx file to move data from one dep_nextref_vamt instance to another, to store data for backup purposes, or to facilitate proxy activation. By default, the export does not include product-key data and personally identifiable information (PII).

Examples

Example 1: Export data to a file 

PS C:\>Get-VamtProduct | Export-VamtData -IncludeProductKeys -IncludeSensitiveInfo -outputfile "c:\users\me\desktop\vamtdata.cilx"

This command gets a dep_nextref_vamt product object that contains all products and then exports the object to the specified file. The command also specifies to include product keys and personally identifiable information.

Required Parameters

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Products

Specifies the product information to be exported. If the Products parameter is not included, dep_nextref_vamt exports all product information in the dep_nextref_vamt database to the .cilx file.

-DbConnectionString

Specifies the database that the product and the product key are exported from.
