Migrating catalog objects

Typically, the QMF objects are stored in the catalog. You can enable the QMF catalog functionality for Db2 for z/OS, Db2 for LUW, and Db2 for iSeries. If you want to move QMF objects from one Db2 database to another Db2 database, you can migrate the QMF objects from an existing QMF catalog to the repository workspace or the catalog of another database, and then use these objects in the new database.

To migrate the Db2 objects, export them from one QMF catalog into a .clo file, and then import the objects from the .clo file into another QMF catalog or repository workspace.

You can import and export catalog objects by using any of the following methods:

To export the catalog objects to a .clo file, select File > Export or right-click the QMF catalog and click Export. For the steps to export the catalog objects, see Exporting catalog objects.
To import the catalog objects from a .clo file into another catalog, select File > Import or right-click the QMF catalog and click Import. For the steps to import the catalog objects, see Importing catalog objects.
To import the catalog objects into a repository workspace or a workspace folder, right-click the workspace and select Import QMF Catalog Objects (*.clo). For the steps to import the catalog objects, see Importing catalog objects into a workspace.
