Bulk Data Transfer

Hi folks:

We have a system requirement where a large amount of data needs to be
transferred between two systems. The main system is a DB2 8.x running
on a pSeries (AIX) and the archive database resides on an iSeries
(AS/400).

At the end of the day, we would like to transfer the daily processed
data from the pSeries to the iSeries. Since the amount of data to be
transferred is large (in excess of 200,00 records), we would like a
solution, which can move the data in bulk from one system to the other
instead of programmaticall y (reading from one DB and writing to
another) achieving this transfer.

We are NOT looking at using DB2 Replication on pSeries with the DB2
propagator on iSeries (licensing issues). I have heard of the DB2
IMPORT/EXPORT & LOAD/UNLOAD utilities but I don't know how these can be
used, from what I know these provide bulk loading but I am not sure
which is the right tool to use in order to achieve what we are trying
to do.

Would appreciate if someone could provide help on this
Thanks

Nav,

We have ad-hoc replication processes to avoid Web-Sphere MQ licensing
issues. For convenience & maintenance reasons, we have been using
db2move utility for import & export without any problems so far.

Although I haven't used it, recently announced SP:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...id=swg21201292

looks promising.

Hello, I am trying to load a simple tab-delimited data file to SQL Server. I created a format file to go with it, since the data file differs from the destination table in number of columns. When I execute the query, I get an error saying that only sysadmin or bulkadmin roles are allowed to use the BULK INSERT statement. So, I proceeded with the Enterprise Manager to grant myself those roles. However, I could not find sysadmin or...

I'm also having problems getting the bulk insert to work. I don't know anything about it except what I've gleened from BOL but I'm not seeming to get anywhere...Hopefully there is some little (or big) problem with my code that someone can point out that may save me some time. TIA CBL

Hi all, We have an application through which we are bulk inserting rows into a view. The definition of the view is such that it selects columns from a table on a remote server. I have added the servers using sp_addlinkedserver on both database servers.

Sorry for the piece-by-piece nature of this post, I moved it from a dormant group to this one and it was 3 separate posts in the other group. Anyway...

I have BULK INSERT T-SQL statements that work for all of my basic data tables except for one. Here is the problem statement (with obvious replacement of irrelevant path info): BULK INSERT igbconts_tmp FROM 'C:\\my_code_path\\IGBCONTS.txt' WITH (KEEPNULLS, FORMATFILE = 'C:\\my_data_path\\contacts.fmt');

Hi everyone, I receive a variety of text based files that seperates each row by a single delimiter, usually '~'. I use BULK INSERT to transfer the file from a text file to a temporary table. It works fine for most of the files (which use '~' as the delimiter for the rows), but for some reason I can't get it to work for a particular file. The file looks like it uses a new line character as the row delimiter, so I put in '\n' as the row...
