Configure Migration Prerequisites for DB2
On this page
To run migration jobs from a DB2 source database, the target database requires creating a specific schema and a specific table within the schema in the database you are migrating. If Relational Migrator determines the database needs configuration changes, it automatically generates a SQL script with the required changes. It is recommended to have a Database Administrator (DBA) review the commands in this script and perform their execution on the database server.
Before you Begin
Download and install the DB2 jdbc driver to the correct Relational Migrator directory. For details, see the Installation on a Local Machine for your operating system.
