Large inventory of DB2 data replication and migration solutions

This article mainly introduces the description of the actual operation methods of data replication and migration in DB2. The method in this article is tested, in the environment of IBM x346, 3.2G × 2, 4G, in RAID 1, DB2 V8.2.4, Win2000 Adv Server, and DMS tablespaces, the data load speed is about 60-entries/min.

Background: You need to change the tablespace of the database, or migrate data from all tables in the database to a new database.

Steps:

1. Select all tables in the source database through the db2 Console (db2cc) and export them as DDL scripts;

2. Make necessary modifications to the script as needed, such as changing the tablespace to GATHER;

3. Create a database and create a DMS tablespace: GATHER;

4. Run the DDL script in this database;

5. write code to query all tables in the source database and generate an export script automatically;

6. write code to query all tables in the source database and generate an import script automatically;

7. Connect to the source database and execute the export script;

8. connect to the target DB2 database and copy and execute the import script;

Appendix 1: Sample Code for generating an export Script :/**

 
 

  
  
* Create an export script
  
  
* @ Param conn
  
  
* @ Param creator: Table creator
  
  
* @ Param filePath
  
  
*/
  
  
Public void createExportFile (Connection conn, String creator, String filePath) throws Exception {
  
  
DBBase dbBase = new DBBase (conn );
  
  
String selectTableSql = "select name from sysibm. Variables Ables where creator = '" + creator + "' and type = 'T '";
  
  
Try {
  
  
DbBase.exe cuteQuery (selectTableSql );
  
  
} Catch (Exception ex ){
  
  
Throw ex;
  
  
} Finally {
  
  
DbBase. close ();
  
  
}
  
  
DBResult result = dbBase. getSelectDBResult ();
  
  
List list = new ArrayList ();
  
  
While (result. next ()){
  
  
String table = result. getString (1 );
  
  
List. add (table );
  
  
}
  
  
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ();
  
  
String enterFlag = "\ r \ n ";
  
  
For (int I = 0; I <list. size (); I ++)
  
  
String tableName = (String) list. get (I );
  
  
Sb. append ("db2 \" export to aa "+ String. valueOf (I + 1) +". ixf of ixf select * from "+ tableName + "\"");
  
  
Sb. append (enterFlag );
  
  
}
  
  
String str = sb. toString ();
  
  
FileUtility. saveStringToFile (filePath, str, false );
  
  
}
 
 

Appendix 2: Sample Code for generating the import Script :/**
