Use this roadmap to guide you through the process of creating and populating an archive database with Optim™ on distributed platforms.
To create an archive database:
Use a table map to specify correlating source and destination tables of compatible data. You can map tables that have different names, modify table names, exclude tables from a process, or include column maps for greater control over the data.
Use a column map to define the specifications for mapping columns of compatible data between source and destination tables. You can map unlike-named columns, modify data, or exclude columns from a process. You can include one or more column maps in a table map.
Use an insert process to insert data from an archive file or extract file into a destination database.
Use the load process to transform the contents of an archive or extract file into a format that is appropriate for a particular DBMS loader and then, if desired, start the corresponding database load utility.
