Transport 
The following are some examples of data transports (export with subsequent import) where the Loader CLI is in transport mode.
Prerequisites
You require the demo databases DEMODB and TESTDB.
Start the Loader in transport mode: loadercli -p.
You do not require and knowledge about the Loader syntax in transport mode. The generated Loader commands are, however, displayed on the console and in the Loader files, and can be used as templates for writing your own Loader commands.
Note
The transport mode is available for 32 bit platforms only.
Activities
Executing Transports
You want to transport the database catalog and the application data of the HOTEL schema for database user MONA between databases DEMODB and TESTDB.
