dxdumpdb options DSA

options: Denotes one or more of the following options:
-f filename: Specifies the file to receive the exported data. If this option is not specified, the output goes to standard output or the screen.
-v: Runs in verbose mode. This option switches on error and status tracing. For the -v option to work, you must also specify the -f option.
-z: Specifies that DXdumpdb dumps from the copy of the datastore that is produced by the console command dump dxgrid-db.
DSA: Defines the DSA. DXdumpdb looks in the configuration files of this DSA to find the datastore to export to an LDIF file.
