Oracle bulk load stage is for server jobs, and creates data and control files for sqlldr. What do you mean by "ordinary"?

So...Do we need to prepare control files also...?
or DS will prepare and we just need to mention the path...?

DS will prepare datafile and control file. You have to specify the path alone

If we're still talking the Server stage, its behaviour depends on the 'mode' setting - Manual or Automatic. Manual means create the .ctl and .dat files and nothing more. Automatic performs the actual load without instantiating those files.

However, the job type and forum are "parallel". Would you (sagar) care to re-phrase your question?
