This database is where the data is being sent, also called the target. Either the primary or secondary database can be the source or target, depending on whether you use the transfer from or transfer to command.
The following figure shows the DB2 access service configured to access a particular DB2 database, which is the primary database. The secondary database is an Adaptive Server database located on the LAN. The client application can transfer data from DB2 to ASE, or from Adaptive Server to DB2.
Figure 8-1: DB2 access service data transfer between databases
During a transfer:
Data flows from a table in the source database, through the DB2 access service, to the target database. Although the client application initiates the transfer, the data does not flow through it.
The DB2 access service becomes a client to the secondary database.
