Import data from Excel To Oracle - Command line and scheduled

How to execute command line and scheduled

We can run from command line or create a batch file(replace the "username", "password", "database" and "mode" with your own database user info. The lines wrap in this page, but in the file is 1 line):

	"C:\Program files\XlsToOra\XlsToOra" 
	username=hr password=hr database=xe mode=normal unicode=true
	session=E:\testcase\employees.xlf
	logfile=E:\testcase\employees.log

or use "workspace" (contains multiple sessions), the workitems(sessions) can be queued.

	"C:\Program files\XlsToOra\XlsToOra" 
	username=hr password=hr database=xe mode=normal unicode=true
	workspace=E:\testcase\import_all.xtw
	logfile=E:\testcase\import_all.log

The XlsToOra parameter descriptions are as follows:

	username: Your Oracle username.

	password: Your Oracle password.

	database: Your Oracle database name (SID). To use tcp-ip connection, you need set "database" to "server:port:sid", like this "database=localhost:1521:xe".

	mode: normal, sysdba, sysoper.

	unicode: If you want to import unicode data, set "unicode=ture",  default is false.

	session: The session file name, to create a seesion file, please see this page: Save/Load session.

You may need to run a batch file at a specific time and/or at a certain time every day. Below is additional information about how to do this.
