BMC UNLOAD PLUS for DB2

Unload DB2 for z/OS data quickly

Improve availability and reduce the resources required for unload jobs

This product:

• Unloads DB2 tables more quickly, using fewer resources than the native DB2 utility
• Converts DB2 data to other formats and writes it to any destination
• Captures data from a specific point in time — either unloading from an image copy prior to the most recent one  or unloading from a consistent point in time — while the table space is online and available to applications
• Eliminates processing of partitions that do not meet the selection criteria or, if desired, unloads at partition and table-space level
• Manages its own buffering, performs I/O operations at the lowest level possible, processes objects in one pass, and runs outside of DB2
• Eliminates the need to execute RUNSTATS, sort data, and reorganize indexes separately

With BMC UNLOAD PLUS for DB2, you will:

• Reduce the cost of unloading DB2 data
• Reduce JCL maintenance by dynamically allocating unload data sets and new data sets when object definitions change (such as when partitions or a new table are added)
• Improve data availability
