Java / C SP migration help

[Kumar]

Hi

I am trying to recreate a database under the following environments :

From: Solaris with DB2UDB version 7.2 with FP 9
To: Linux with DB2UDB version 7.2 with FP 9

It will be of really a great help if any one help me in step-by-step
guidelines to migrate SPs written in Java & C languages. I have
successfully recreated SQL procedures.

Some of the questions/doubts I have are :

1. How do we extract class files from existing java SPs?
2. Hos do we extract/find jar file?
3. What are the files need to move to target box before migrate?
4. Do we have to use "CREATE PROCEDURE " command even after moving
class/jar files ?

I am sorry, I really don't know anything about JAVA or C procedures.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

guidelines to migrate SPs written in Java & C languages. I have
successfully recreated SQL procedures.

Some of the questions/doubts I have are :
I have not ported a Java stored procedure to another platform so my answers
are *not* based on having done this, just theory based on having written a
number of Java stored procedures. I have not worked with C stored procedures
but I think my remarks for Java stored procedures should probably work for C
procs as well.

If anyone else reading this thread knows me to be wrong, please correct me!
I don't knowingly pass out false information or bad advice and I don't want
to start now....

1. How do we extract class files from existing java SPs?
Considering that you will be using different Java versions and JVMs on each
platform, I think it would be safer to send the Java source to the each
platform and prepare it separately on each platform.
2. Hos do we extract/find jar file?
When I create my jar files, I put the class files *and* the source for each
stored procedure in the jar file. If you have put the source in the jar
file, you will find it in the sqllib\function \jar\<schema-name> directory.
Otherwise, I have no idea where your source code is but you should be able
to find it, assuming you kept it. Again, I suggest that you move the source
file to the other machine, not the class file.
3. What are the files need to move to target box before migrate?
The source code for each stored procedure and client should be enough,
unless I'm forgetting something. Of course, you will also need preparation
procedures for compiling, jarring, CREATE PROCEDURE, sqlj.install_ja r, etc.
I would suggest developing those with a tool like Ant. I'm quite fond of Ant
because it runs on many different platforms and is almost entirely
platform-independent. That means that it should run pretty much unchanged on
the platforms you mentioned, as well as many others. For lots more
information about Ant, go to http://ant.apache.org.
4. Do we have to use "CREATE PROCEDURE " command even after moving
class/jar files ?

If you follow my suggestions, yes, you will have to do DROP PROCEDURE,
sqlj.remove_jar , sqlj.install_ja r, CREATE_PROCEDUR E, as well as compile and
jar commands. Of course, you will also have to prepare the client programs
that call the Java stored procs so they will need to be compiled and
possibly jarred.
