start task

Starts a replication task that you previously defined in the Data Replication Console.

Syntax

start task task_name [-l] [args="task_parameters"] [configuration_name] [connection_list]

The following short form is acceptable:

st task_name [-l] [args="task_parameters"] [configuration_name] [connection_list]

Parameters

The following table describes the command parameters:

Parameter	Description
`task_name`	The name of the replication task.
-l	Include this parameter to run the task as a background process. When the task runs in background mode, the Command Line Interface writes messages to the output log and waits for the task to complete.
args=`"task_parameters"`	Include this parameter to specify one or more optional parameters for the task. If you enter multiple task parameters, separate them from one another by a space. Enclose all of the task parameters in double quotation marks. See Appendix D in the Informatica Data Replication User Guide for a list of optional InitialSync, Extractor, and Applier command line parameters.
`configuration_name`	The name of the configuration with which to run the task. Include this parameter if the task requires a configuration.
`connection_list`	For configurations that have multiple targets, a space-separated list of database connections that correspond to the targets for which to run the task.

Examples

The following example command starts the extract task that uses the Ora2Ora_config configuration as a background process, skips integrity checking for the redo logs, and captures change data for transactions that have a default name:

start task extract -l args="SKIP_CONTINUITY_CHECK=y SKIP_DEFAULT_TX=n" Ora2Ora_config

The following example command starts the apply task that uses the Ora2Ora_config configuration in the foreground for the target that uses the Ora_tgt connection:

st apply Ora2Ora_config Ora_tgt
