The onpladm utility features
You can create and maintain the onpload database with the onpladm utility and the ipload utility. The onpload database stores information about the High-Performance Loader (HPL) objects of load and unload jobs.
The first time that you issue a create command, the onpladm utility creates the onpload database, if it does not yet exist.
The onpladm utility can perform the functions
that the following table describes.
| Object | Operation |
|---|---|
| Project | Create, delete, describe, list, run |
| Job | Create, delete, describe, list, modify, run |
| Map | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
| Format | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
| Query | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
| Device array | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
| Computer | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
| Target server | Configure and list default settings |
| Filter | Create, delete, describe, list, modify |
The onpladm utility also allows you to:
- Create jobs and other objects with a single, minimum-input command.
- Specify object characteristics in specification files.
- Create, load, or unload jobs for all tables in a database.
- Create jobs for an entire database and group the jobs into a project with a single command.
- Run individual jobs or projects independently.
Important: The most effective way to
use onpladm is to create and modify HPL objects
is to:
- Create the default objects by using default job creation options.
- Use describe object syntax to describe the objects.
- Manually modify these objects with correct values for different configuration parameters.
- Use modify object syntax to correctly create these objects.
