AE DB Load

logging=

The path and the file name of the log file.

The number characters are used as place holders for consecutive numbering. When you start the utility, the log files are renamed so that the current log file always shows the number "00".

logcount=

The number of stored log files.

Language.

Allowed values: "D", "F" and "E" (default)
"D" = German
"F" = French
"E" = English

The language that you select when you log on affects the utility's interface and the log-file messages. When you select several languages here, the first language is used as the default language.

helplib=

The name of the message file.

helpcache=

The availability of the message and language dependent strings.

Allowed values: "ALL" (default value), "NONE", "CONTROLS"

"ALL" = The entire message file is kept in the RAM.
"NONE" = The message file is always read from the hard drive.
"CONTROLS" = All language dependent strings which are required for displaying a Dialog program are held in the RAM. 

INPUT=

The path of the DB directory.

The path of your databaseA database is an organized collection of data including relevant data structures. directory must be specified so that the utility can access the required data during the loading process.

Default value: "..\DB" for Windows or "../DB" for UNIX

This path is also decisive for the folder that should be opened in the file-selection dialog which is displayed when you call the utility.

cmd=

Command-line command for starting the utility.

path=

The start path for the utility.

title=

This parameter serves internal purpose in the utility. The value must not be changed.

[ENVIRONMENT]

classpath=

The path and the file name of the archive for layout files.

[TRACE]

file=

The path and the file name of the trace file.

The number characters are used as place holders for consecutive numbering. When you start the agent, the log files are renamed so that the current log file always shows the number "00".

trccount=

The number of stored trace files.

database=

The trace flag for the utility's database access.

Allowed values: "0" (default value) to "9"

Trace flags must only be used in close cooperation with Automic Support.

[ODBC]

SQLDRIVERCONNECT=

The connection for the database.

ODBCVAR - Eight-digit command field for controlling database accesses.

1. Position = N - Do not use server cursor.
1. Position = S - Use server cursor (MS SQL Server 2000).
2. Position = N - Do not reestablish database connection after 1000 commits.
2. Position = D - Disconnects the database after 1000 commits (perhaps due to memory problems).
3. Position = N - Field names are compared case-sensitively (Oracle).
3. Position = J - Field names are compared case-insensitively (Oracle).
4. Position = N - Not used.
5. Position = N - The type of the database connection: ODBC
5. Position = I - The type of the database connection: OCI/CLI.
6. Position = N - Database access without User ID.
6. Position = O - Database access with User ID.
7. Position = N - Compression is deactivated.
7. Position = R - Compression is activated.
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; N - MS SQL Server
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; O - Oracle
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; D - DB2

DSN - The alias name of the database connection.
UID - The User ID for database access.
PWD - The passwordA secret combination of characters for a Automation Engine user. for the database access. Should always (also "") be encoded. See: Encoding passwords

Only for ORACLE:
The code-page settings must correspond to those of the database. Automic recommends using the variable NLS_LANG or the parameter SP=.

Syntax:
SP=NLS_LANGUAGE=language,NLS_TERRITORY=area,CODESET=character set,RECONNECT=interval,commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT'

RECONNECT refers to the frequency with which the database connection should be re-established. This parameter is given priority even if a "D" was set in the 2nd digit of ODBCVAR (see above).

Automic recommends using the parameter commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT' in order to increase performance.

For example:
(Two lines are used for the connection parameters for lack of space. In the INI file, you should only use one line).

SQLDRIVERCONNECT=ODBCVAR=NNJNIORO,DSN=UC4;UID=uc4;PWD=--1037B2E22BF022EBE2;
SP=NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN,NLS_TERRITORY=AMERICA,CODESET=WE8ISO8859P15,commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT'

Only for DB2:

Use "N" on the 6. position in the connection string, when the UID for database access is a domain user.
