Step 4. Optional: Transfer the jobs, work statement list, and data to the target system
After you have run the batch jobs, perform this step only if the source and
target systems are different; that is, the node names for the source and target systems are not the
same.If the source and target database systems are on separate machines, you might need
to transfer the information electronically or by using a portable medium, such as a tape.
Before you begin
Procedure
To transfer the jobs, WSL, and data to the target system:
Run the following jobs in the listed sequence:
- SST4XF - Information about the data sets that needs to be transferred
- SST5DE - Delete data sets on source system
If you combined job steps, these jobs are located in the group xxxxSE. Run the second group with the name xxxxSE on the source system after all jobs in the first group are complete.
If your source and target Db2 subsystems are on the same machine, do not run the delete data sets on the source system job (SST5DE or xxxxSE) until you run all of the jobs for the target system.
If you requested that a WSL be generated, the job name xxxSE is used (when not connected to a remote system). Otherwise, the name xxxLE is used. This job specifies the data set names with the WSL that is required to be transferred to the target system, along with a job step to delete the data sets. Do not run the step to delete the data sets if you are using the WSL.
