You can use the New Convert Service wizard to create a z/OS® convert service.
A convert service transforms data in an extract file. You
can convert data to assure data privacy or to systematically transform
data to meet your application testing requirements. You can import
converted data into a spreadsheet program, insert it into a testing
database, or restore it to a reporting database.
A convert service
requires an Optim™ logical data
model to provide the source data.
To create a convert service:
- From the Data Project Explorer, right-click the Services folder
and click . The
New Convert Service wizard opens.
- Complete the steps of the wizard.
You must
enter a name for the service and select an Optim data source, Optim logical data model, and data access plan.
You
must enter the name of a table map to use with the request. You must
also then enter a name for the extract or archive file with the source
data, enter a destination file name, enter a control file name, and
specify options for the convert service.
If you choose a comma
separated values file as the destination file, you must select formatting
options.
