Preparing configuration XML files

To configure data movement, you can use the XML template files which contain all the required parameters and some default settings.

About this task

If you plan to run the data movement feature from the Hadoop service provider, all of the configuration for the data movement feature is performed on the Hadoop side. If you plan to run the data movement feature from Db2® Warehouse, you must install the required files in the Db2 Warehouse container, as described in Configuring Fast Data Movement on Db2 Warehouse.

The following XML file templates are available in the installation directory:
  • fq-import-remote-conf.xml
  • fq-export-remote-conf.xml

Procedure

  1. Copy the template file and save it with a different name. Remember that each configuration file defines a single transfer job, that is single or multiple tables from or to a particular database.
  2. Review and edit the required parameters. For a complete list of parameters, see Data import configuration XML or Data export configuration XML.
    Tip: You can overwrite the parameters that are set in the configuration XML file in the command line while running import or export. These options are described in Running data movement from Hadoop and Running data movement from Db2 Warehouse.
  3. Save the configuration file.
