I have a question regarding the use of the Fscript command: [ExportPlan
ids]. When should you export with IDs? Is this only advisable for
deployed applications that have UUIDs assigned? Any advice would be
appreciated.

Brad,
The reason for using the command [ExportPlan ids] is when you need to
create a new workspace which will be exactly the same as the one you are
exporting from. We do this when we are setting up applications for
failover scenario. The runtime object ids have to be the same for an
application to failover from one environment to another. You would have
make distribution from two different repository because they are two
different environment(or you can copy the appdist directory from one
environment to another if the nodes have been defined the same). To do
this you would need the workspaces in both environment to be exactly the
same. Another scenario where you would use the command is to keep a
backup of you production repository in pex format. Hope this answers
you question.
