Required?

Valid values

Any valid Oracle datetime format mask

Default value

None

Usage

Specify a valid Oracle datetime format mask that matches the timestamps in your input.

Consider the following points regarding this parameter:

  • Use this parameter when your input was generated on a DBMS other than Oracle (or a different Oracle environment) that uses a different timestamp format than the format of the timestamp columns in your target tables. When you specify this parameter, High-speed Apply Engine issues an ALTER SESSION SET statement to change the timestamp format (the nls_timestamp_format parameter).
  • For valid datetime format masks, consult the Oracle DBMS technical documentation.
  • High-speed Apply Engine uses this parameter only when the target version of the Oracle DBMS is 9i or later. For earlier versions, High-speed Apply Engine ignores this parameter.
