How to use Informix HPL tool?

How can the HPL tool be launched? Is it available by default or should it be purchased?

I'd like to create a scheduled job to import data to Informix.

Thanks is advance.

I've managed to start ipload GUI, but now the following error is displayed. What am I missing?
"error -25560 connecting to server onpload"
Thank you for the response. The job is now created with HPL, but when I try to run it from command line, I get the following message:
-106 ISAM error, which should be "non-exclusive access". What does this mean?

I need it executed from command line, because it should be a scheduled task.

Can you please clarify how to set LOCKMODE wait?

Thanks!
It is in client APIs. Maybe exposed somewhere in HPL.
Basically HPL is single-use tool, so it is better to resort to dbaccess.
