Keyword Order in the Bulk Loader Data File

Keyword order must be maintained within the data files to ensure an error-free transfer during the bulk load.

The first keyword definition in the bulk loader data text file must be the initial service=<NAME> keyword definition (shown in the listing “Keyword Hierarchical Order in a Data File”). Following the service=<NAME> keyword, all remaining service keywords that apply to the named service must be specified before the first param=<NAME> definition. These remaining service keywords can be in any order.

All parameters associated with the service must be specified. Following each param=<NAME> keywords are all the parameter keywords that apply to the named parameter until the next occurrence of a parameter definition. These remaining parameter keywords can be in any order. When all the parameters associated with the first service are defined, specify a new service=<NAME> keyword definition.

The following listing lists the keyword hierarchical order in a data file.
