Moving data with a migration file

The best method to use depends on whether DASD is shared between the two subsystems. With shared DASD, you can use the MIGRATE command to merge the source image copy with log and write the new image directly to the target table space. If the target site is remote, you can use the IMPORT command to move an image copy of the source table space to the target table space.

The MIGRATE and IMPORT commands can process several objects in one execution, an OBJECTSET, or a single table space or index. The table names in the migration file are matched to the table names on the execution subsystem. If the table names do not match, you can use the CHANGE FROM...TO option in the USING specification to make them match. All other attributes of the table must be the same.

Change Manager supports the EXPORT and IMPORT commands. For more information, see the  ALTER and BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 .
