Features

  • An interface is in a form of wizard which allows restarting migration from any step;
  • The tool uses the bulk copy mechanism to load data from DB2 tables to SQL Server. This approach allows to achieve the maximum possible insertion speed;
  • You can edit the SELECT statement which reads the source data. This allows fixing many common data migration problems like incompatibilities in data types. Besides, it makes possible to perform a partial data migration, when you need to move only a definite range of records;
  • By creating a single migration task, you can migrate many tables at once. The target SQL Server database and schema can be specified only once for the whole task;
  • DB2Migrator has a Column Mapping feature, which allows establishing a custom correspondence between DB2 and SQL Server columns if necessary. This can occur, for example, when a DB2 column name happens to be a SQL Server keyword;
  • Current migration task can be saved in a file and restored later. Thus you don't need to specify all parameters from scratch when you are repeating the migration for a similar set of tables on the same servers.
