Configuring Fast Data Movement on Db2 Warehouse

Perform the following configuration steps on Db2® Warehouse container so that you can run data movement from the container.

About this task

Fast Data Movement is pre-installed on Db2 Warehouse container in /opt/ibm/migration_tools/FDM.

It includes the following files:
  • nzcodec.jar - jar with Fast Data Movement source code
  • fdmIIAS.sh - a script to execute Fast Data Movement
  • fdmDownload.sh - a script to download required libraries and configuration files from default Hadoop directories
  • fq-export-remote-conf.xml - template export xml file
  • fq-import-remote-conf.xml - template import xml file
Before you can start the data movement process, you need to download the required Hadoop libraries, Hive libraries or BigSQL libraries, and client configuration files to the Db2 Warehouse container. Run the fdm_download command to download the required files. Note that the command requires that the Hadoop software is installed in its default vendor locations on the service provider systems. Once the packages are installed, you are ready to start the data movement process as described in Running data movement from Db2 Warehouse.
