# DREEXPORTREMOTE

Allows you to export IDX or XML documents from one or more Content component databases on a source Content (local or remote machine) and add them to a database on a target Content (local or remote machine).

NOTE: Multi-section documents are not split across chunks, so the BatchSize specified in the index action parameter is not used exactly if it requires a split a document section.

## Example

    http://localhost:9071/DREEXPORTREMOTE?&TargetEngineHost=twist&TargetEnginePort=9100&Delete=true&Blocking=true&BatchSize=10000

This action exports all documents from Content and adds them to databases of the same name on the remote Content on host `twist` (using the target host ACI port). It deletes the local documents after the export is complete. Each DREADD on the remote server completes before the next one is called. The maximum batch size is `10000` document sections.

    http://content01:9071/DREEXPORTREMOTE?&TargetEngineHost=content02&TargetEnginePort=20400&DatabaseMatch=Flowers&DREDBName=Botany

This index action exports all documents from the remote database `Flowers` to the remote Content on host `content02` (using the target host ACI port), adding the documents to the database `Botany`.
