-rep (Required)	Specifies the name or ID of the repository Example: -rep “SampleRepository” -rep “bkpzf0xoy9ku”
-u (Required)	Specifies the user name to log in to the repository
-p (Required)	Specifies the password to log in to the repository. Example: -p “aeteyfghdt13” Tip: you can exact the encrypted password of a given username from a test execution batch file.
-rs (Optional)	Specifies the IP address or machine name of the repository server. Example: -rs 192.168.167.134:53400 Notes: The port number must fall within a range of 53400 to 53499 The default machine name is `localhost` and port number is `53400`.

-src (Optional)	Specifies the full path or ID of test module, data set, user-defined action or interface entity to be exported Example: Test module: -src “/Action-based Testing Basics/Action Based Testing”
-dtn (Optional)	Specifies full path of exported file/folder. Notes: Unless you defines this argument, TestArchitect will export to the current user’s location. If the path includes a file name, this name will be assigned to the exported file; otherwise, the name of the exported file/folder will be derived from that of the original item. Network paths are supported. If the path contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes("").
-tco (Optional)	Determines whether to export either test cases or test modules. Applicable values: yes: Export test cases only. no: (Default) Export test modules only. Example: -tco “yes”
-fld (Optional)	Determines whether to create a folder corresponding to each test module in order to hold its test cases. The folder is named after the corresponding test module. Applicable values yes: Create folders no: (Default) Do not create test folders Notes: This argument only works if the value of the tco argument is yes Example: -fld “yes”
-pre (Optional)	Adds text or the value of user-defined field as a prefix to the names of .csv files. Syntax: For text prefix: -pre “test” For user-defined field prefix: -pre “<name of a user-defined field>" The name of user-defined field must be enclosed by angle brackets (<>). Example: -pre “test” Assuming that the name of the test case is TC01. The output would be testTC01. -pre “<Source>" Assuming that the value of the Source field is `sap`; the name of the test case is TC01. The output would be sapTC01.
-zip (Optional)	Determines whether the items are exported into a compressed file (.zip) or a folder. Applicable values: yes: Export into a compressed file. no: (Default) Export into a folder. Example: -zip “yes”
