Introduction to the Bulk Loader

As a systems administrator, you may have an existing Compaq NonStop

TUXEDO application with multiple NonStop

TUXEDO services. Manually creating these definitions to the repository database may take hours to complete. The bulk loader is a

command utility that allows you to load multiple, previously defined NonStop

TUXEDO services to the repository database at one

time.

Using the program, jbld, the bulk loader utility reads the specified text file consisting of the NonStop

TUXEDO service definitions

and bulk loads them into the Jolt repository. The services are loaded to the repository database in one bulk load. After the services

have populated the Jolt Repository, you may edit them, create new services, and group services using the Jolt Repository Editor.

See Section 5, Using the Jolt Repository Editor for information about using the Jolt Repository Editor.

Using the Bulk Loader

Since jbld is a Java application, before running the jbld command, set the CLASSPATH environment variable (or its equivalent) to

point to the directory where the Jolt class directory is located (for example., /tuxedoR6.5/jolt/classes). If this environment variable is

not set, the Java Virtual Machine cannot locate any Jolt classes.

For security reasons, jbld does not use command-line arguments to specify user authentication information (user password or

application password). Depending on the server's security level, jbld will automatically prompt the user for passwords.

The bulk loader utility gets its input from command-line arguments and from the input file.

To Activate the Bulk Loader

To activate the bulk loader on NonStop

Kernel Open System Services (OSS), type:

export CLASSPATH=<pathname>

java bea.jolt.jbld [-n][-u usrname] [-p package][-r usrrole] <//host:port> <filename>

Type your user password and application password (if required) and press Enter.2.

Table 4-1 describes the bulk loader command-line options.
