destination	A valid URL, such as http://server_name	Yes	Specifies the URL of the site collection to which the content will be migrated.
rootchannel	A valid channel name, such as “Channel1”	No	Channel that will be the root Web for the destination site collection (for example, top level site). Only the content in and below the selected site will be migrated.

migrateresources	Any one of the following values: All Onlyused	No	Specifies whether all shared resources should be copied into the destination site collection or only the shared resources that are used by the pages that are being migrated. When the all value is used, all resources will be migrated during the next migration, even those that are not used and not changed (only applies to full migrations). However, the onlyused value is appropriate only when resources are actively being used by content in the site. Note During the incremental migration, only shared resources that are being used by pages in or under the selected root will be updated.

keeptemporaryfiles	Any one of the following values: Never Always Failure	No	Specifies whether the temporary exported files should be removed after migration.
enableeventreceivers	Any one of the following values: Yes No	No	Enables or disables event tracking. For performance reasons, by default, the enableeventreceivers parameter is disabled during the import process. However, if a case exists where the events need to be captured (for example, if you have a third-party Web Part that relies on these events), this parameter can be enabled to track the events.
