DS Project name: Test
and we want to export parallel job PxCustom.pjb which is in folder "Jobs/PX Jobs/". then command would be -
istool export -dom SERVER.us.ibm.com:9080 -u admin -p admin -ar /test1.isx -ds ' "SERVER/Test/Jobs/PX Jobs/PxCustom.pjb" '
To export the job PxCustomer.pjb from Jobs/PX Jobs folder in the Test project on SERVER at port 9080, issue the following command:
istool export -dom SERVER.us.ibm.com:9080 -u admin -p admin -ar /test1.isx -ds ' "SERVER/Test/Jobs/PX Jobs/PxCustom.pjb" '

istool import -dom SERVER.us.ibm.com -u admin -p admin -ar /test1.isx -ds ' "SERVER/Test" '
There is no command to list contents of the project, but you can use export command with preview option to list contents of project or folder.
