• Migration of SAP ECC database on DB2 9.1 Z-OS 1.12 to DB2 LUW9.7 FP10 (Heterogeneous System Copy). Due to resource availability on mainframe servers and enterprise direction to move away form mainframe, 6TB size database has to move form DB2 on Z-OS to DB2 LUW.
• Export was very critical in the process due to limited resource on mainframe, hence various optimization techniques were used including table splitting, package splitting, split index creation, parallel export /Import, Migration Monitor (MIGMON). Finally settled down to distribution monitor, where 5 application servers are used simultaneously to Export data out of the source system and Import data into new target database.
