DCM uses the destination database definitionto send data to the destination database. This definition names, describes, and provides transfer information about the destination database.
A transfer setis a related group of objects that can be sent to a destination database.
To send data to a destination database, the following process occurs at the source database.
- A destination database definition is created for each database to which data is to be transferred.
- A transfer set is defined for each group of objects that is to be sent.
- A DCM generate and transfer specifies the destination database and a transfer set. This combination generates a DCM transfer package that is then transferred to the destination database.
