Load Job Windows

The Load Job Select window (Figure 108) and the Load Job window (Figure 109) let you create, save, and execute a load job. The Load Job window visually represents the various components of a load. After you select the components, you can save the load job for future use or execute it immediately.

The ipload utility assigns pathnames for the log files that document the load and that capture records that do not pass the specified filter or that do not pass conversion.

When you use ipload to create a job, ipload stores information for the job in a row in the session table (page Session Table) of the onpload database. The ipload utility stores information about the components of the load job in other tables of the onpload database, including format, maps, filters, and so on. When you use the onpload command, columns in the session table reference the components to assemble the information necessary for the job. These tables are documented in Appendix A. onpload Database.
