DB2-DB2 migration toolkit

At work, some people have found IBM's Migration Toolkit (MTK) to be a
nice tool for copying data from one table (in another DBMS product) to
DB2.

Now, they want to do the same thing from one DB2 database to another DB2
database. - But MTK (surprisingly) doesn't seem to support DB2-DB2 copies.

These are non-regular, ad-hoc tasks, performed by users without
administrative rights (and generally somewhat annoyed by command line
operations).

Which tool should I suggest instead of MTK?

Use the EXPORT and LOAD (or IMPORT) utilities.

The nice thing about MTK is that there are no files involved: You set up
two database connections, and "pump" data from one to the other. That's
the kind of functionality that I'm looking for, but with DB2->DB2.

If you're using DB2 9, db2move has a new option to do just this (see the
'-co' option).

The users _really_ like MTK's GUI (and some of them aren't that happy
about the command line). And we're not using DB2 v. 9 yet.

So: I'm still very open for suggestions.

Good idea. I just sent the suggestion to

with a "migrate-team" subject prefix, as described at http://

Also in DB2 9 you can perform LOAD from a remote database.
In DB2 V8.2 you can create a nickname (using federated) and do "LOAD
from cursor"

The IBM Migration Toolkit is a tool to migrate from Sybase, Microsoft
SQL Server or Oracle databases to DB2 or Informix. Migration from DB2
to DB2 is an issue not addressed by the Migration Toolkit. Therefore,
the Migration Toolkit team cannot provide you assistance with the
situation you are facing. I suggest you consider the following options
to get proper help:

Look at this redbook which discusses moving data across the DB2
family: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246905.html
Look at this redbook that highlights differences between DB2 systems :
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork...206sqlref.html
Find help on the DB2 support website at http://www.ibm.com/db2/udb/support.html
Contact your IBM representative and ask for support.

Hi We need to migratedata for about 300 tables from MS SQL server database to Linux DB2 V8.1. Total size of all 300 tables is @ 3 GB.

Does IBM publish a complete list of features (of Oracle) which the IBM migration toolkit does *not* convert? The docs seem rather vague. For example: 1. What support for the oracle object-relational features (objects and member procedures etc). 2. any support for removing substitutable parameters in DDL (in sqlplus scripts) like "&&1". or &&1.. etc.

Is there a db2 tool or utility that will map Oracle structures and data to DB2? For instance, Microsoft has a tool called "Microsoft Sql Server Migration Assistant for Oracle". The tool basically maps structures from Oracle to Microsoft Sql Server. I was wondering if the same tool existed for DB2 that would make migrating from Oracle easier.
