  However, we have been able to use dbload on the Primary server
  and there is another manual reference that states that it is
  only restricted on HDR secondary servers, remote standalone
  secondary (RSS) servers, or shared disk secondary (SDS)
  servers.  Please see the following manual reference:
  
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/index.jsp?
  topic=/com.ibm.mig.doc/ids_mig_133.htm
  
  We need clarification on these statements.
