Quick Beginnings

Pre-Migration

This procedure helps you to ensure that all databases on your system can be migrated to DB2 Version 5. You need to perform the following steps:

1. Complete all database transactions.

2. Ensure all applications disconnect from each database.

3. Ensure all databases are cataloged.
   

   The database migration verification tool, db2ckmig does not verify uncataloged databases. See "Verify that Databases Can Be Migrated" for a description of how db2ckmig works.

4. Make a backup copy of all databases. Refer to the Version 5 Administration Guide for information on making a backup copy of a database and to the Command Reference for the syntax of the backup command.

   Note:

   Make sure that this is the most recent backup copy of the database before you start the next procedure.

5. Stop the database manager.
