The ipload utility is a part of UNIX database servers. Before you can use ipload, you must have installed the database server. If the database that you want to load or unload is on the computer where you plan to run ipload, you must also start the database server.
You can also use ipload to manage load and unload operations for a database server on a different computer. For example, you can use ipload on a UNIX computer to manage the onpload database on a Windows computer. For more information about onpload databases on Windows, see Appendix I. Running Load and Unload Jobs on a Windows Computer.
