The main benefits with the vcexport/vcimport commands compared to the systemexport/systemimport commands are:

• The exported configurations are easier to read, which also makes it easier to compare the new export with any previous export.

• The format is more compact than the traditional export format.

vcexport

This command exports configurations in a format that is adapted for version control systems. The vcexport command exports the configurations into a flat structure, i e with file extensions instead of directories. For each exported configuration, a .xsd file will be generated in which the structure of the data is stored, which will produce a more compact format than the other export commands can offer.

vcimport

This command imports exports made with the vcexport command.
