You can use the Import utility to import objects in a UNIX
environment. The Import Utility copies object definitions from the
specified Input File to the current Optim™ Directory.
The Output File that is generated by Export is used as the Input
File. See Export for information
about creating a file to use as an Input File. These conditions apply when you
are importing in a UNIX environment:
- Determine the DB Alias, Optim Directory, and Creator
ID for the objects you want to import. In the pstlocal.cfg and pstserv.cfg files,
ensure that definitions exist for both the source and target DB Alias,
Optim Directory, Creator ID and password. See the Installation
and Configuration Guide, Appendix A - Install and Configure
the Server under UNIX or Linux.
- Before you attempt to import any other objects,
import only the DB Alias in a separate process.
- z/OS object definitions, Primary Keys, and Foreign Keys
are unavailable for import.
For general information about the Import process, see Import. For detailed information about
the Import utility, see Import using the Interface.
