Hi! When trying to import data with TIMESTAMPs and a user-defined format, repmcli/loadercli complains about the format. The easiest way is a little example:
DATALOAD TABLE TEST UPDATE DUPLICATES "ID" 1 "VALUE" 2 INFILE '/tmp/repmcli/TEST-import.data' COMPRESSED ASCII SEPARATOR ';' DELIMITER '' TIMESTAMP 'DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS' Note that the timestamp in the data-file has following format (current date): "01 Dec 2005 12:50:00" Here's the output of repmcli: ---8<--- User DBA connected to database TEST on localhost. DATALOAD TABLE TEST UPDATE DUPLICATES "ID" 1 "VALUE" 2 INFILE '/tmp/repmcli/TEST-import.data' COMPRESSED ASCII SEPARATOR ';' DELIMITER '' TIMESTAMP 'DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS' Successfully executed: -25301 Invalid input for date or time column: 01 Jan 2005 00:00:00 ---8<--- Here's my test-data: ---8<--- 01 Jan 2005 00:00:00;1 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00;2 01 Mar 2005 00:00:00;3 01 Apr 2005 00:00:00;4 01 May 2005 00:00:00;5 01 Jun 2005 00:00:00;6 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00;7 01 Aug 2005 00:00:00;8 01 Sep 2005 00:00:00;9 01 Oct 2005 00:00:00;10 01 Nov 2005 00:00:00;11 01 Dec 2005 00:00:00;12 ---8<--- So I thought, that maybe a export reveals the solution for this problem: repmcli-output: ---8<--- User DBA connected to database TEST on localhost. DATAEXTRACT "ID", "VALUE" FROM "TEST" OUTFIELDS "ID" 1 "VALUE" 2 OUTFILE '/tmp/repmcli/TEST-export.data' COMPRESSED ASCII SEPARATOR ';' DELIMITER '' TIMESTAMP 'DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS' Successfully executed ---8<--- And here's the exported data: ---8<--- 30 ... 1999 15:23:10;3 30 ... 2005 22:00:00;0 ---8<--- There are really three dots ('...'). Am I missing something or what's going wrong here? Thanks for your help!
