PeopleSoft Data Mover Operating Modes
You can connect to PeopleSoft data mover in two modes depending on the previlages that your user id has. The following two are the modes that you can connect to the data mover.
- Regular mode.
Most of the time you connect using this mode. To sign in to the data mover in regular mode, enter your PeopleSoft user ID and password during sign-in. In regular mode, all data mover commands are valid.
- Bootstrap mode.
In bootstrap mode, you use a database access ID and access password when signing in to data mover. Typically, we use bootstrap mode for database load. When we create a brand new PeopleSoft database we connect to the data mover in a bootstrap mode. We also use bootstrap mode for running some security commands, such as ENCRYPT_PASSWORD.
