IBM Fast Data Movement installation

The following sections describe software prerequisites and the installation of IBM® Fast Data Movement.

With IBM Fast Data Movement you can import data from Db2® Warehouse to Hadoop, or export it from Hadoop to Db2 Warehouse. Regardless of the direction of data movement, the process can be initialized from both, Hadoop and Db2 Warehouse.

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

If you want to run data movement from the container, see Configuring Fast Data Movement on Db2 Warehouse for additional configuration.

If you want to run data movement from Hadoop, you need to install the package on a Hadoop node from which you will run the process. For a detailed instruction, see Installing or upgrading the data movement feature on Hadoop.
