Use the DSMSERV INSERTDB utility to move a server database into a new database. The database can be extracted from the original server and inserted into a new database on the new server by using a network connection between the two servers. The database can also be inserted from media that contains the extracted database.
Before you use the DSMSERV INSERTDB utility, complete the planning and preparation tasks, such as backing up the database and saving configuration information. Ensure that you meet all requirements before you move the server database. If you are upgrading the server from V5 to V7 on the same operating system, see the instructions in Upgrading the server from V5 to V7.1 or later. If you are migrating a V5 server on AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris to Linux, see the instructions in Migrating Tivoli® Storage Manager V5 servers on AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris systems to V7.1 on Linux. If you are migrating a V5 server on a z/OS® system to V7, see the instructions in Migrating Tivoli Storage Manager V5 servers on z/OS systems to V7 on AIX or Linux on System z®.

This parameter is required when the database that you want to insert into the empty V7 database was extracted to media.
Use this parameter only if the data that is inserted into the empty V7 database is transmitted from the source server with a network connection.
Use the PREVIEW=YES parameter to test a database. When you use this parameter, the operation includes all steps of the process, except for the actual insertion of data into the new database. When you preview the insertion operation, you can quickly verify that the source database is readable. You can also identify any data constraint violations that might prevent an upgraded database from being put into production.
