Command File Mode 

In command file mode, a command file written by the user is processed sequentially. The command file can contain any sequence of Loader commands and SQL statements.

Use

You can start Loader CLI in command file mode. To do so, enter the following command:

loadercli –b <command_file>

If, for example, you want to transfer the connection information at the same time as the Loader CLI is called, use the corresponding options.

loadercli –b <command_file>
  [<connect_options>]
  [<in_output_options]
  [<version_options>]

Features

After option –b enter the name of the command file and (optionally) the requested options for establishing the connection, for input and output control and for version queries.

command_file

<command_file>

version_options

Examples

loadercli -b command.dat -d demodb -u mona,red –E 20

The Loader establishes a connection to the database instance DEMOB for the user MONA. The Loader processes the commands and statements contained in the command file command.dat.

If errors occur (return code <> 0) in doing this, the processing of the command file is terminated as soon as 20 error messages have appeared.

For more examples, see the Loader-Tutorial, Command File Mode.

Explanation

The Loader reads the commands and SQL statements from the specified <command_file> and transfers it to the Loader server.

A command file can also be generated by generating the design data in transport mode.
