Working with DB2 Definitions

Working with DB2 Definitions

You can create a DB2 source definition in the following ways:
  • Import the table definitions that PowerExchange retrieves from the DB2 catalog.
  • Import DB2 or DB2 unload (DB2UNLD) data map definitions from PowerExchange.
  • Import extraction map definitions for PowerExchange.
  • Manually create a DB2 definition.
You can create a DB2 target definition in the following ways:
  • Import the table definitions that PowerExchange retrieves from the DB2 catalog.
  • Manually create a DB2 definition.
  • Create a DB2 target definition from a DB2 source definition. In the Target Designer, drag a DB2 source definition to the workspace.
    If the source includes a LOB column, the source definition and source qualifier include a port for the ROWID column. The mapping does not use this port, and you can leave it unconnected to the target.
    If your repository already contains DB2 definitions, you can use them to extract data from or load data to a DB2 table. However, the metadata definition must match the table structure of the DB2 table.
