The onload command includes options for specifying information about the tape or file source.

The following syntax diagram fragment shows onload source parameters.


Source parameters

   .--------------------.       
   V                    | (1)   
|----+- -l------------+-+---------------------------------------|
     +- -b--blocksize-+         
     +- -s--tapesize--+         
     '- -t--source----'

Notes:

Only one occurrence of each option allowed. More than one option can occur in a single invocation.

Element	Purpose	Key Considerations
-b *blocksize*	Specifies in kilobytes the block size of the tape device	Requirements: Unsigned integer. Must specify the block size of the tape device. Additional Information: This option overrides the default value in TAPEBLK or LTAPEBLK.
-l	Directs onload to read the values for tape device, block size, and tape size from the configuration parameters LTAPEDEV, LTAPEBLK, and LTAPESIZE, respectively	Additional Information: If you specify -l, and then -b, -s, or -t, the value that you specify overrides the value in the configuration file.
-s *tapesize*	Specifies in kilobytes the amount of data that the database server can store on the tape	Requirements: Unsigned integer. To write to the end of the tape, specify a tape size of `0`. If you do not specify `0`, then the maximum *tapesize* is 2 097 151 KB. Additional Information: This option overrides the default value in TAPESIZE or LTAPESIZE.
-t *source*	Specifies the path name of the file on disk or of the tape device where the input tape is mounted	Must be a legitimate path name. Additional Information: This option overrides the tape device that TAPEDEV or LTAPEDEV specifies. References: For path name syntax, see your operating-system documentation.
