The following figure shows an example bulk data movement configuration of PowerExchange with PowerCenter, which includes sources and targets on z/OS, i5/OS, and distributed systems:

In this example, PowerExchange uses PWXPC to integrate with PowerCenter. PowerExchange extracts bulk data from and loads bulk data to the following types of databases and files:

PowerExchange uses its access methods to read bulk data from and write bulk data to relational and nonrelational databases and sequential data sets on z/OS and to DB2 tables and flat files on i5/OS. On Linux, UNIX, and Windows systems, the PowerCenter Reader and Writer extracts and loads data for relational data sources and targets and flat files.

Because the target systems are remote from the source systems, a PowerExchange Listener runs on all of these systems.
