Batch loader file syntax and sample
A batch loader list file is typically a text (.txt) file that contains a list of the XML loader files for batch processing by the ObjectManager tool.
ObjectManager <batch-mode> config|c <user> <password> <batch-loader-dir> <batch-loader-list-file>
- Any line starting with a number sign (#) is considered a comment
- Any line starting with greater than sign (>) is written to the screen for display
- All other lines are assumed to be the relative path to a loader file
The following sample batch loader list file was created in a text editor. It shows
how to display an informational loading
message (line starting with >) on the screen for
files that are loading from different directories, and provides an example of how to list a loader
file (example1-op-config.xml
) from a top-level (c:\temp)
directory and how to list multiple loader files (example2, example3, example4) from a subfolder
(\loaders
) located under the top-level directory.
# If the <batch-loader-dir> was given as c:\temp, the following lines would
# write the "Loading…" message and then attempt to load the file
# c:\temp\example1-op-config.xml
>Loading example 1…
example1
# If the <batch-loader-dir> was given as c:\temp, the following lines would
# write the "Loading…" message and then attempt to load the files:
# c:\temp\loaders\example2-op-config.xml
# c:\temp\loaders\example3-op-config.xml
# c:\temp\loaders\example4-op-config.xml
>Loading examples 2-4…
loaders\example2
loaders\example3
loaders\example4
For example, you save this batch loader list file with the name
load-reports.txt
in the c:\OpenPages
default installation
directory.
The instructions in the following example show how to run the sample
load-reports.txt
batch loader list file to load or import data into IBM OpenPages®. The top-level directory
(c:\temp
) is used for the <batch-loader-dir>
parameter
because it includes the loader files in the \loaders
subfolder.
