Combined Usage With FTP
°
If the insert is unsuccessful, "U" indicates that the next user exit, UPDATEIT,
should be called to update the corresponding row in the database. If the
update is successful, processing for that record is complete, and the process
reads the next record. If the update is not successful, a message is sent to the
error file indicating that no user exit was successful with this record, and the
process reads the next record.
Combined Usage With FTP
This example reads a file from another site through FTP. The DataLoader/MX process
is configured to read input from its $RECEIVE file, while the FTP server sends its data
into this DataLoader/MX process. The data coming from FTP can be read by
DataLoader/MX with a RECFORM FB, IBMVB, or stream of data. (VB is not supported
by the current release.)
$ dataload -name=/G/lamp ... -I=\$RECEIVE
>FTP IPAddress
>......, userID, password
>get file $lamp
Note. Currently, this feature is supported with only the Guardian version of the FTP client. The
OSS version does not support writing to a DataLoader process.
