Exporting a DBQ to file

You can export a DBQ to file, and deliver the file to a post-processor via the appropriate input connector, for example a Directory input connector.

When you export you have the option to preview the DBQ in the web browser (click Open). In some browsers the preview is opened in the same tab as DBQ Tool, and when you click Back to return to DBQ Tool all settings are cleared. If you want to preview the DBQ, the recommendation is to save a copy of the DBQ (click Save) and then preview the DBQ in a separate browser/tab.

To export a DBQ

1	In DBQ Tool, click Export.

2	In the Export dialog box, select wether to include All documents defined by filter or Selected documents only.

4	If you do not want to convert date and time values to UTC, clear the Convert metadata date/time values to UTC check-box.

5	Click Export. You are prompted to save the file.

6	Click Save. A file browser opens.
