Ingest operations in a Db2 pureScale environment

When you are using the ingest utility in a Db2 pureScale environment, there are some additional considerations to take into account.

When each flusher connects to a database on a Db2 pureScale instance:

If the SET CLIENT command with the CONNECT_MEMBER option has been issued, the flusher connects to that member.
Otherwise, the flusher does not specify the member to connect to. In this case, the Db2 client uses connection-level work load balancing (WLB) to select the member to connect to.

Multiple invocations of the ingest utility can operate on the same member or on different members, depending on whether the SET CLIENT command with the CONNECT_MEMBER option has been specified and which member WLB chooses.
