Command Line Options

The following options are used to run the Bulk Load Client:

-b, --batchSize <number>

Specifies the maximum number of user data records to be sent to the server in each request. This option is used to avoid overloading the server.We recommend you to use a batchSize of 100.

-c, --configFile <file>

Specifies a properties file that contains the configuration options for invoking the Bulk Loader task. The default is "imbulkloadclient.properties".

-e, --endpointInfoFile

Specifies a properties file that contains the key or value pairs for "user", "password", and "serverUrl". This option is used together with the (-s, --storeEndpointInfo) option.

-f, --format (CSV | XML)

Specifies the format of the input file (-i, --inputFile) that contains the data records to be sent to the server. The default is XML. When the input file format is XML, use the -t, --transformFile <file> option to specify the XSLT template for carrying out the transformation. If the input file format is CSV, the file is submitted to the Bulk Loader task directly without transformation.

-h, --help

Displays the command syntax.

-i, --inputFile <file>

Determines the user data records to be sent to the server. It can be in XML or CSV format.

-o, --outputFile <file>

-s, --serverUrl <url>
