Db2 Data Migration

The Advantages Of DB2 Data Migration & Data Conversion Service

You can use a data conversion service for migrating data to the IBM DB2 Universal Database. Such DB2 data migration entails that the service provider first perform a full backup of your database in offline mode even before its representative installs the DB2 software on your computer. The rep can then install the software so that he/she can then migrate the instance and the database. The final post-migration steps involve the taking of a full backup of the database and other relevant wrap-up tasks.

Using a data conversion service for migrating data to the DB2 database management system is beneficial for you. You can then rest assured because of the absolute reliability of the data conversion solution the service provides to you.

The selection and use of a compatible and optimum data migration toolkit by the service provider helps in transferring data accurately from even a legacy database into the DB2 database. A data conversion service uses the migration toolkit to map the data in a legacy database table and transfer it into data in the DB2 database. The DB2 Document Manager performs file scanning to do the mapping.

The toolkit used by a data conversion service for migrating data into the DB2 database is successful in the migration of data. This happens irrespective of whether it is an image, text, number, pdf, audio, XML, or HTML format. This is possible with the use of the extract-transform-load (ETL) strategy. The data conversion strategy is able to do this irrespective of the type of data that may be present in your legacy database.

Moreover, the DB2 data migration solution itself provides several benefits. These include global accessibility of the data, easy understandability of data in relational tables, and reduced maintenance costs. The further advantages include reduced costs of maintenance, and increased productivity due to easy grasping by programmers of code.

There are several advantages of migrating to the DB2 database system for the storage, retrieval, and maintenance of your data. One of this is because DB2 uses commonly used SQL (sequential query language) for data access and which is now an internationally acclaimed standard.

Another associated benefit of it is in the use of open standards. Other gains that you obtain through DB2 data migration include great cost-to-performance and reduction in the cost of administration. This will be experienced by you if you have used either of IDMS (Integrated Database Management System), VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method), or IMS (Information Management System) earlier.

The other benefits of a shift to DB2 are in data aggregation and in economies of scale. The use of data access middleware, architectural flexibility, distributed DBMS (database management system) management are concurrent benefits.

Companies the world over are turning to a professional and experienced data conversion service for DB2 data migration. Outsourcing helps them concentrate better in their own line of business. They know DB2 data migration is a painfully slow process, but definitely worth the advantages.
