Welcome to the IBM Migration Toolkit website. The IBM Migration Toolkit is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to migrate your data from a wide variety of source databases to either DB2 or Informix, regardless of platform.
About the IBM Migration Toolkit
NOTE: The IBM Migration Toolkit is available for use but is deprecated and no longer supported.
The IBM Migration Toolkit provides a full-functioning GUI interface that offers multiple options to refine and customize each migration. The toolkit is very portable, making it possible to import and convert on a machine remote from where the source or target databases are installed.
The IBM Migration Toolkit supports migrations from source databases: Oracle, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), Sybase SQL Anywhere (ASA), and Microsoft SQL Server. It supports migrations to target databases: DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, DB2 for i5/OS, DB2 for z/OS, and Informix.
The IBM Migration Toolkit is available in English and can be run from a variety of hardware platforms. Try the latest version of MTK, which includes support for DB2 LUW 9.7 and many defect fixes (see Download section).
The following table lists the supported source and target combinations:
