ARS_DB_IMPORT parameter

The method that Content Manager OnDemand uses to migrate index data to table spaces and import tables from archive storage to the database.

The default value is 0 (zero). The ARS_DB_IMPORT parameter is ignored on object servers.

If you are configuring a library server, then you must set the ARS_DB_IMPORT parameter to one of the following values:
0
Content Manager OnDemand uses the EXPORT and IMPORT commands to migrate table data. This method requires disk space to hold log records generated when exporting existing table data and importing data to the new table space. This is the default migration method.
1
Content Manager OnDemand uses the EXPORT and LOAD commands to migrate table data. This method requires disk space to hold log records generated when exporting existing table data. The LOAD command generates a backup image of the new table space. The image file is stored in Tivoli® Storage Manager-managed storage. This is the recommended migration method. Before you can use Tivoli Storage Manager to manage DB2® backup image files, you must install and configure Tivoli Storage Manager. See Installing and configuring Tivoli Storage Manager on AIX for details.

Content Manager OnDemand uses the EXPORT and LOAD commands to migrate the table data. This method requires disk space to hold log records generated when exporting existing table data. The LOAD command generates a backup image of the new table space. The image file is stored in the file system identified by the ARS_TMP parameter (see ARS_TMP parameter).
