High Performace Loader - onpladm

I have inherited a Document Management system but no supporting documentation !! There are various tables in the database but the current problem is specifically with 1 huge table that contains 13 varchar, date, decimal and integer fields and 1 blob field. Users are getting locking errors on the fragmented index when trying to insert a new document into the database. What I am trying to do is rebuild the table on my new test server so that I can drop and re-create the index (I have been led to believe this could take hours or even days so wish to try in a development environment before trying on the live database). LOAD takes ages and although I have turned logging off on the offending database, but as the blobs are stored in sbspaces, the metadata is always logged. I thought I would try using the high performance loader - onpladm. I created a project, a device array and a fastloadjob, ran the job only to be told 'Tables with BLOBS or extended types cannot be loaded in Express Mode'. Next I changed the job to be loadjob rather than fastloadjob (a conversion job) but then I need to define maps and format objects. P17-42 in the High Performance Loader User Guide lists the required syntax for defining a format but it is not clear what I need to set the compulsory attributes to. Can anyone help me with defining the required format for onpladm ? Is there any other way to easily get the data in this 1 table onto another server ? Sue

I have now imported the data using IPLOAD with the exception of the BLOB field. Using IPLOAD the entry in the formatitem table for the blob field had a value of 42 (etx type string) in the ftype field. This did then not allow me to match the column in the load file with the column in the database. I updated the entry to have an ftype value of 35 (blob file). So my problem now is how do I load BLOBs using IPLOAD ?
