Usage of Incremental Export

When you use incremental export, you need to consider the following points:

• IgnoreMetadataChange: Consider, you have exported data once using incremental export. Later, you add a new attribute to repository metadata, which increments the catalog version number. In this case, if the IgnoreMetadataChange parameter is set to false, incremental export exports all data even if it is exported earlier.
• Incremental subset: Subset records are exported even though those were already exported during repository export.
• Modified subset and incremental export: If subset is modified to include a record which was changed before the last export, then the modified subset data is not exported.
