Migration Guide


Migrating database applications

You have three options for migrating work that uses a database feature:

Database Manager menu choice
Use this option to migrate the following:

Database Access Set Runtime menu choice
Use this option to add universal fields to your database application. This is required for all Version 3.0 database applications.

Dynamic to Static menu choice
Use this option to migrate a DB2 CLI application with universal fields to a Static DB2 application.

The option(s) you choose, depend on the database your Version 3.0 application supports and the database you want your Version 5.5 application to support. You may need to use more than one option. For example, if you are migrating a Version 3.0 native DATABASE2 application to Static DATABASE2, use all three options sequentially:

  1. Use the Migrate > Database Manager choice of the VisualAge Organizer's Applications menu to migrate native DATABASE2 code to DB2 CLI.
  2. Use the Migrate > Access Set Runtime choice of the VisualAge Organizer's Applications menu to add support for universal fields to the DB2 CLI code.
  3. Use the Migrate > Applications menu of the VisualAge Organizer. choice of the Applications menu to migrate the DB2 CLI code with universal fields to Static DB2.

The materials below describe how to use the three options.
