You can transfer data in two directions:
A transfer to statement transfers data from the primary database, DB2 UDB. This means that the primary database becomes the source database to the secondary database, which is the target.
A transfer from statement transfers data from the secondary database. This means that the secondary database becomes the source database to the primary database, DB2 UDB, which is the target.
For example, when you execute a bulk copy transfer from statement, the secondary database (either ASE or another database) is the source of the data to be transferred. The primary database, DB2 UDB, becomes the destination database, or target.
For implications of using one transfer direction over
another, see “Datatype conversion for transfer processing”.
