Purpose
The AXSMOD command specifies the name and optional initialization string for an access module that provides data to the Teradata FastLoad utility on network‑attached client systems. For more information about specific access modules, see the Teradata Tools and Utilities Access Module Reference (B035‑2425).

Description |
init‑string |
Optional initialization string for the access module. The initialization string can contain double quotes, but not single quotes. |

A personal shared library file name can be used if custom access module is used. The AXSMOD option is not required for importing disk files on either network‑attached or mainframe‑attached client systems, or magnetic tape files on mainframe‑attached client systems. It is required for importing magnetic tape and other types of files on network‑attached client systems. To specify the OLE DB Access Module, Named Pipes Access Module, or the WebSphere MQ Access Module for specific platforms, see the Teradata Tools and Utilities Access Module Reference (B035‑2425). |

Example
The following example provides the volume set name and owner as initialization parameters for the REELlibrarian access module, called libprmrl.so:
AXSMOD libpmrl.so “‑V FastLoad ‑O lmn” ;
