PostCode and Suburbs
Submitted by Guest on Thu, 21/07/2011 - 17:43
Hi,
I have OPENVPMS up and running, except for Suburbs, PostCodes and State.
I was wondering if I can use the dataload or archload to populate the relevant tables (Suburb, Postcode, State) within the database?
thanks,
James

Hi James,
if you want to load the Australian postcodes then you can do so using dataload.
dataload.bat -f ..\import\data\postcodesAU.xml
Cheers

Parallel question: what's the function of the -f switch in the code above?

Hi Yuri,
There are a number of flags you can use on dataload to control what files to process.
If you have a look inside the dataload.bat file you will see some of these are used for the base and setup load options.
Cheers
Tony

Ok, I understand: it's a java switch, not a DOS batch file switch (whew! - this DOS dinosaur's grey matter couldn't remember an -f batch file switch).
Thanks.
Yuri.
