To dump only specific objects in a repository, set the type, predicate, and predicate2 repeating properties of the dump record object. The type property identifies the type of object you want to dump and the predicate and predicate2 properties define a qualification that determines which objects of that type are dumped. The Documentum System Object Reference Manual contains a full description of a dump record object’s properties.

However, when you dump an object, the server includes any objects referenced by the dumped object. This process is recursive, so the resulting dump file can contain many more objects than the object specified in the type, predicate, and predicate2 repeating properties of the dump record object.

When dumping a type that has a null supertype, the server also dumps all the objects whose r_object_ids are listed in the ID field of the type.

The ACL associated with a dumped object is also dumped.
