if its data load you can use export import task.
did understand which is this third party tool and how it will be providing data to sql server for loading?

Are you talking about bcp?

Did you install Microsoft SQL Server Client tools?

Thanks for the reply.We have a Tool for data masking.This is used to mask the data residing in a database and create a file in its proprietary format.This would then be used to populate any other database.To do so the tool has a process called load.This requires specfying the path of the sql server loader tool.The only documenetation i have is shown below
Directory path and program name where the MS-SQL Server Loader resides
Please let me know if the BCP or export and import task can be used for this purpose.....
Thanks ....




Thanks.

We really don't have enough information to be able to help you. We have no idea what loader it is referring to. There are so many different ways you can import and export data using SQL Server. I'd suggest checking with the vendor of the third party tool.
