When you create a Q subscription, you can choose among
several options for loading target tables with data from the source.
- Automatic load
- The Q Apply program manages the loading of target tables. You
can select which load utility the Q Apply program calls, or you can
let the Q Apply program choose the best available utility for your
operating system and version.
- Manual load
- You handle the loading of target tables, and then signal the replication
programs when loading is done. This option is also known as external
load.
- No load
- You either do not load target tables, or you load target tables
outside the context of the replication programs.
