SQL Server to DB2

  • What is the best way to move data to mainframe database (DB2) from SQL Server?

    Can DTS be used along with an OLE Provider? Or would DB2 Connect be a better route?

     

    TIA

  • I don't know which method is best, but we use DTS and connect to a DB2 ODBC driver to push data and it works fine.  I guess you'd need to try different methods to see which works better for your environment.

  • Hi Linda,

    How do you handle pushing data to packed fields on a DB2 table?

     

     

     

  • Sorry but I don't know much about the DB2 databases.  You may need to get with your DB2 expert or just do some testing.  Our data pushes are very basic and simple.

  • We are being recommended to use DB Connect to connect to the mainframe. Is this the same as ODBC?

  • I'm not sure.  You may need to install it and check the ODBC Administrator for a driver.  Even if it uses OLE DB you may be able to use it in a link, but you'd just have to try it.
