About the Web Load Data process parameters

The Web Load Data process parameters dialog box contains three columns that cannot be configured. The Name (with Instance and server name or Cluster name), Type (with Instance or Cluster), and Server (with the name of the server) columns enable you to see that the row you select is an instance or a cluster. When you select a cluster, the Cluster Instances button will become active and you are able to see more information on the instances within the selected cluster in the list shown in the Cluster Instances dialog box. Setting parameters at the cluster level affects all instances in that cluster. It is impossible to set parameters for an instance within a cluster individually.
