Architecture of the onpload Utility

The ipload utility is the interface that allows you to prepare the parameters that the onpload utility uses. The onpload utility, which is a client application that attaches to the database server, actually loads and unloads the data.

The onpload utility can take advantage of parallel processing to perform both I/O and data conversion as efficiently as possible because it uses the same multithreading architecture that the database server uses.

Multithreading is described in the IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide. The following sections describe how onpload uses multithreading for deluxe loads, express loads, and unloads.
