Starting and stopping the load process

Use the following commands to start and stop the RAP automated load process.

You can also create a tickler file to stop the loading process, instead of using the rap_flap_stop.sh script. The file name should be the same as $TICKLER_FILE, specified in the rap_flap_env.sh. When the loading process stops, the tickler file is removed.

NoteBefore running the rap_bfap_start.sh and rap_flap_start.sh scripts to start the load process, set executable privileges on all of the files in the $RAP_HOME directory. Otherwise, “Execution permission denied” errors will occur.

If the input directory ($RAP_IN) contains the TAQ sample data files, the data in these files is loaded into the RAPCache and RAP VLDBServer databases the first time you start the automated load process.
