Add more details.

Error/Exceptions etc that you might be seeing when you try to export

There is no option button for OVA, just there is OVF only, but when i choose OVF, then click OK, and then there is no reaction anything, just closed the window.

if i read in some reference, in vCenter 6.7 we can not export OVA or OVF, is it true?

I am not too sure about any known issues.

Here's the documentation link for vSphere 6.7

Export an OVF Template

Are you using IE, documentation does talk about following.

>Note:

>If you are using the Internet Explorer browser to export and OVF template, new tabs open in the browser for each file of the OVF template. For each new tab, you are prompted to accept a security >certificate. Accept each security certificate, before saving each file.

Other alternative is OVFTools

VMware OVF Tool 4.3 Release Notes Release Notes

============= update ================

It's same button you press to export your vm as OVA or OVF.

at the time of Export, it asks you to export as OVA or OVF and based on your preference it will export.

OVA - Puts entired exported VM in one single OVA file.

OVF ends up creating multile files like .ovf, .vmdk, .mf etc.
