About the generate, transfer, and receive operations

Three DCM operations must be performed to send data from a source to a destination database: generate, transfer, and receive. The generate operation creates a transfer package. This package is sent from the source to the destination database using the transfer operation. The transferred data is then loaded into the destination database using the receive operation.

DCM lets you combine the generate, transfer, and receive operations. With one action, you can either: 1) Generate and transfer a transfer package, or 2) Generate, transfer, and receive a transfer package. You also have the option of performing each operation separately.

This figure shows the generate, transfer, and receive process for a transfer package that was sent from the Boston database to the Chicago database.
