Remarks

You must call the Connect method before calling this method.

The exported XML document will conform to the schema specified in file MSCSProfileSchema.xml, and will contain both site terms and profile definitions.

If the bRemoveCredentials parameter is True, then the credentials (user name and password) will be removed from all connection strings. These credentials will have to be replaced before the catalog can be imported. If the catalog is imported through Commerce Server Manager, the user must enter a user name and password for each data source partition in the catalog. See Exporting Profile Schema for more information.

If the bRemoveCredentials parameter is False, then the credentials will be exported in plain text with the rest of the catalog.
