Copying Data and Configuration Files from a Previous Release on IBM i
Copying Data and Configuration Files from a Previous Release on IBM i
After you complete the PowerExchange installation, you can copy or migrate the data maps, capture registrations, extraction maps, configuration files, and PowerExchange Condense checkpoint and condense files from the previous release to the libraries in the new PowerExchange environment. By copying this information, you maintain all existing bulk and CDC map definitions as well as condense files with change data.
For bulk data movement, copy the DBMOVER member of the
datalib
/CFG file from the previous release installation to the new installation.
For CDC, if you use PowerExchange Condense and plan to warm start it, copy the following libraries, files, and members from the previous release installation to the new installation:
The DBMOVER member of the
datalib
/CFG file.
All files that begin with FULL and PART in the
condlib
library, including the condense files that contain the change data.
PowerExchange Condense checkpoint files, to which the CHKPT_BASENAME parameter in the CAPTPARM member of the CFG file refers.
If you plan to cold start PowerExchange Condense in the new environment, you only need to copy the DBMOVER member of the
datalib
/CFG file. You do not need to copy any additional files.
