import database ZZ.ZZ data
from local data_file '/hyperion/data/Rates.txt
using local rules_file '/hyperion/data/fte.rul'
on error write to '/hyperion/data/loaderr.log';
this is not working where i try to load data from a file which is not in applicaiton but is at a differnt loaction. also the rules file.
The error says cannot access rules file.
Is that a compulsion that the rules file should be in any application??
cant we use a rules file which is elsewhere???
But if I try using this command...
import database ZZ.ZZ data
from server data_file '/ZZ/ZZ/FTERatesloadnew.txt'
using server rules_file '/ZZ/ZZ/fte.rul'
on error write to '/hyperion/loaderr.log';
This works fine...
why is that its not working if I use local data and rules file??
