# DREEXPORTIDX

Allows you to export IDX documents from one or more Content component databases (use DREEXPORTXML to export XML documents).

NOTE: This index action can export content only if it was originally in IDX format. Content does not convert XML documents to IDX. For content that was originally in XML format, use DREEXPORTXML.

When you want to update a configuration parameter that requires you to reindex your data, you can use `DREEXPORTIDX` or DREEXPORTXML to export an IDX or XML file. You can then initialize your index, make your configuration changes and index the IDX or XML file back into Content.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9101/DREEXPORTIDX?FileName=/export/data/backup/output&Compress=true&DatabaseMatch=News,Archive&BatchSize=1000&MinDate=01/01/2003&MaxDate=01/01/2004&MinID=500001&MaxID=1000000

This index action exports all IDX documents that have dates between the `1st of January 2003` and the `1st of January 2004` from the `News` and `Archive` databases to a series of compressed files in the `/export/data/backup` directory. The files that are created in this directory are called `output-0.idx.gz`, `output-1.idx.gz` and so on.

    http://12.3.4.56:9101/DREEXPORTIDX?
