For an in-depth discussion of modifiers and interpretations, such as CSV and MAX,
used with the -I and -O parameters, see Section 4, Specifying File-Related Options
for DataLoader/MP.
-P=num-parts
directs DataLoader/MP to estimate the partition boundary keys for num-parts
number of partitions. For additional information, see Using the -P Parameter on
page 3-10.
-Q
runs DataLoader/MP in quiet mode. Normally DataLoader/MP writes error and
informational messages to its home terminal. DataLoader/MP also writes to its
OUT file (as specified in the Guardian RUN options, not to be confused with the
-O= file) if the OUT file is different from the home terminal. Specifying the -Q
parameter directs DataLoader/MP not to write informational messages to the home
terminal. Error messages are still treated normally, and informational messages
are still written to the OUT file if the file differs from the home terminal.
