Improved Support of DB2 for z/OS Image Copies as Sources
PowerExchange introduces the following improvements to its support of DB2 for z/OS image copies as sources:
If you use zIIP processing, PowerExchange can dispatch an array of compressed rows to the zIIP processor for expansion. The
Array Size
connection attribute controls the number of rows that are dispatched. In most cases, use the default array size of 25 for optimal efficiency.
PowerExchange supports offload processing for DB2 for z/OS image copy sources in a bulk data movement session. When you use bulk data offload processing, PowerExchange moves column-level processing and source data filtering to the PowerCenter Integration Service machine that runs the bulk data movement session. To enable offload processing for a DB2 for z/OS image copy data source, select
Filter After
for the
Offload Processing
connection attribute.
You can use a FlashCopy image copy as a data source in a bulk data movement session.
The image copy must not be for a compressed table space that has not undergone at least one reorganization.
