Values

format is the format of the output from*-export* EVENTS.

format can be either:

XML: Event data is exported as an XML (extensible markup language) document. XML is often used for exchanging data between two systems.
CSV: Event data is exported as a CSV (comma separated value) text file. The CSV file can be used by most spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel.
ARC: Event data is exported in ARC (archival) format for long-term storage. The exported ARC format data (written in UTF-8) is portable between operating systems with differing code pages.

The purpose of exporting data in the ARC format is to back up all UES data. The user must have permission to all Universal Brokers in order to export data for all UES records. This is best accomplished via the I-Management Console application by assigning the All Agents group to the user that is performing the UES export archive (see Assigning Agent Groups to a User).

Default is XML.
