.NNNN

Where NNNN is a zero-padded four digit integer.

For example, if the specified prefix is “extractData” and the value of parallelstreams
is 4, the following targets are used:

extractData.0001
extractData.0002
extractData.0003
extractData.0004

This option is ignored for load operations.

noaudit

noaudit = "true" | "false"

The default is false.

For a load operation, this option specifies whether Transporter should use non-transactional
database operations for improved performance. If the

“operation” (page 52)

option is not

“insert”

, the noaudit setting is ignored and noaudit is implicitly set to false.

If parallel = true for a job, all targets in that job must have the same setting for noaudit.

This option is ignored for extract operations.

If noaudit is true:

The

“sorted” (page 53)

option must be true.

The

“truncate” (page 54)

option must be true.

The

“forcestaging” (page 49)

option must be false.

An error is returned if any of the above conditions are not met.

If noaudit is false:

The forcestaging option determines whether Transporter uses transactional or
non-transactional database operation. See

“forcestaging” (page 49)

for details.

nullstring

nullstring = "character-string"

There is no default value for a load operation or an extract operation.

This option specifies how to interpret NULL values. This option can be specified as a global
option or in a field definition.

Leading and trailing white space characters are removed from character-string before any
NULL value processing is performed.

character-string

is allowed to be an empty string or to consist entirely of white space

characters. Both are equivalent because leading and trailing white space are always removed.

The length of character-string cannot exceed 64 characters.

For a load operation:

If an input field matches character-string, the field is interpreted as a NULL value.
Leading and trailing white space in the input field are ignored in this comparison.

For delimited data formats, if nullstring is not specified, only an empty input field
containing no white space is considered a NULL value. For example, when two consecutive
field delimiters appear, this indicates a NULL field value. An input field containing only
white space is not considered a NULL value. It is considered an empty string if the
corresponding data type is a character type, otherwise the record is rejected.

For fixed-width data formats, if nullstring is not specified, it is not possible to represent
NULL values in input records. A character field containing only white space is considered

noaudit
