Informatica Sybase IQ external loader with client side load option

In default to load data to Sybase IQ with Informatica external loader you have to transfer data to Sybase server.

With following code you can add follwing features to Informatica Sybase IQ External loader

  • To be able to load data directly from Informatica Server
  • Parallel External load, now instead of getting error, Informatica is waiting other transactions locking target table to finish. (Default unlimited, you can specify wait time if needed)
  • Cleaning data, log and ctl files after successful load.
V1.1 updates
  • External loader errors are logged file_name.err file

To configure your external loader simply point to this new file

Save following script to your Sybase IQ bin64 directory.
