DB2 - Problem description
Problem IC84353 | Status: Closed |
IN DPF ENV., LOADING FROM REMOTE FETCH CURSOR BETWEEN DIFFERENT ENDIAN-BASED PLATFORMS MIGHT CAUSE DATA LOSS | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When loading data using the CURSOR file type between two different databases (aka. Load Remote Fetch), if both of databases are partitioned databases, but on different endian-based platforms, e.g. one is Linux on x86/x86-64 (little-endian) and the other is AIX on POWER (big-endian), the data on some partitions might not be loaded into the target database you currently connect to. db2move might also have the same problem when using the COPY action to move data between two different databases. | |

Local Fix: | |
Use EXPORT or db2move with the EXPORT action to export data from the source database to data files, then load data from the data files to the target database. | |
