3 Running DataLoader/MP
This section explains how to run DataLoader/MP. It describes parameters defined by
HP and gives examples of the use of these parameters. It also discusses parallelism
and how to build your load application to run DataLoader/MP most effectively.
Syntax of DataLoader/MP
To start DataLoader/MP, run the DataLoader/MP program and give it a list of
parameters. These parameters, together with any user exits defined, determine what
DataLoader/MP does. DataLoader/MP does not have an interactive mode.
Note that two types of parameters can be passed to DataLoader/MP: parameters for
DataLoader/MP’s main logic and parameters for user exits. The following paragraphs
describe the parameters for DataLoader/MP’s main logic, defined by HP. These
parameters start with a dash (-). Parameters for user exits should not start with a dash.
For more information about user exits, see User Exits on page 5-1.
