Syntax

Syntax

Fast Clone can accept any number of arguments from the command line. You can use the
config
parameter to specify a configuration file that contains the parameters, or enter parameters individually at the command line when you run the Fast Clone executable.
Informatica recommends that you run Fast Clone with a configuration file. Use the following syntax:
  • On a Windows system:
    FastReader.exe config=
    configuration_file
    [remotehost=
    Fast_Clone_Server_address
    :
    port
    ]
  • On a Linux or UNIX system:
    ./FastReader config=
    configuration_file
    [remotehost=
    Fast_Clone_Server_address
    :
    port
    ]
Include the optional
remotehost
parameter to send the unload request to a remote Fast Clone Server.
If you want to enter Fast Clone parameters directly at the command line, do not use the
config
parameter. Use the following syntax:
  • On a Windows system:
    FastReader.exe
    parameter_1
    =
    value
    parameter_n
    =
    value
  • On a Linux or UNIX system:
    ./FastReader
    parameter_1
    =
    value
    parameter_n
    =
    value
For Teradata targets, use the FastReaderTD.exe on Windows or FastReaderTD on Linux or UNIX.
Include a space between each parameter specification. When you specify boolean parameters from the command line, you can use true or false as the value or the shorter form of y or n. For example, both forms of the following parameter are acceptable and have the same function:
compress_on_the_fly=true compress_on_the_fly=y
