3 Running DataLoader/MX
This section explains how to run DataLoader/MX. 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/MX most effectively.
Syntax of DataLoader/MX
To start DataLoader/MX, run the DataLoader/MX program and give it a list of
parameters. These parameters, together with defined user exits, determine what
DataLoader/MX does. DataLoader/MX does not have an interactive mode.
Two types of parameters can be passed to DataLoader/MX: parameters for the
DataLoader/MX main logic and parameters for user exits. Defined by HP, parameters
for the DataLoader/MX main logic start with a dash (-). They are discussed next.
Parameters for user exits should not start with a dash. For more information about user
exits, see User Exits on page 5-1.
