The following are examples of four ways to invoke FastExport on network‑attached UNIX and Windows client systems:
fexp < /home/fexpuser/tests/test1
> /home/fexpuser/tests/out1
This command specifies both an input file and an output file:
fexp < /home/fexpuser/tests/test1
This command specifies only an input file. In this case, the output is written to the standard output device, which is usually a terminal.
fexp
This command specifies neither an input nor an output file. In this case, the terminal. provides both the command input and output data destination.
fexp -r
'.RUN FILE exp.startup;
'
Note: Single quotes surrounding the above command line are only valid in a UNIX environment. Double quotes surrounding the above command line are valid in both the UNIX and Microsoft Windows environments.
This command uses the ‑r invocation option to specify the FastExport RUN FILE command. In this case, the FastExport job script is in the exp.startup file.
