- Use the UNIX mknod command with the p option to create a named pipe. In the following example, /tmp/mypipe is the name of the pipe:
/sbin/mknod /tmp/mypipe p
- Program the writer process to send its output stream to the named pipe, as in the following FastExport script example:
.EXPORT OUTFILE /tmp/mypipe;
- Program the reader process to read from the named pipe as in the following FastLoad script example:
axsmod np_axsmod.so “fallback_directory=...”; define file= /tmp/mypipe;
- Launch both the writer and the reader processes, as in the following example where flod.cmds is the name of the FastLoad job script file:
fexp <fexp.cmd & fastload <flod.cmds &
In this example, UNIX connects both processes through the named pipe /tmp/mypipe.
