Overview
DB2® High Performance Unload (HPU) for Multiplatforms, V2.2 and
DB2 HPU for Workgroups, V2.2 are high-speed tools for unloading,
extracting, and repartitioning data from DB2 databases on Linux(TM), UNIX®, and Microsoft(TM) Windows(TM).
DB2 HPU helps reduce the maintenance window through shorter
elapsed time operations and new capabilities.
DB2 HPU can extract tables from full, offline backups including backups of system-managed space (SMS) or database-managed space (DMS) table spaces or backups of the database. For backups of table spaces where a suitable backup of the DB2 catalog exists, DB2 HPU can extract the tables from the backup even if DB2 is down. Version 2.2 also offers new repartitioning capabilities for data redistribution on the same system or for data migration to a new system.
High-speed data unloads and splitting can now be done in a single operation, eliminating the use of unnecessary disk space.
