Extract request model

You can use an extract request interoperability model to process an extract request in Optim™ and Optim for z/OS®.

The extract process copies a set of related rows from one or more tables and stores this data in an extract file. The extract process always includes the definitions for tables and columns. You can also choose to extract object definitions, including primary keys, relationships, and indexes. Initiate the extract process with an extract request, which specifies an access definition to define the data to extract and the parameters needed to run the extract process.

See the IBM® Optim Move User Manual for details on the extract process.
