Loader Page

   The job management tab page is displayed by default on the Loader page.

Loader Links

Loader links save data location information. Loader uses links to access data or save data to the specified location. Perform the following operations to access the Loader link management page:

#. Access the Loader page.

#. Click **Manage links**.

   The Loader link management page is displayed.

   Click **Manage jobs** to return to the job management page.

#. Click **New link** to go to the configuration page and set parameters to create a Loader link.

Loader Jobs

Loader jobs are used to manage data migration tasks. Each job consists of a source data link and a destination data link. A job reads data from the source link and saves data to the destination link to complete a data migration task.
