Start the onpload utility

You can start onpload from the command line or from ipload.

When you click Run in the Load Job window (Figure 2) or in the Unload Job window (Figure 2), ipload uses information from the onpload database to start onpload.

Typically, you use ipload to start a job when you plan to perform that particular load or unload once. For a job that needs to be run periodically, such as a weekly report, you might choose to run the job from the command line.

The information that you give to onpload as command-line arguments takes precedence over any information that is in the onpload database. The information from the command-line arguments is effective only for a single load. The command-line arguments do not affect the values in the onpload database or in the plconfig configuration file.
