A Significant Reduction in Load Costs

InfoLoad:

• Loads much faster in a single step
• Handles several operations in parallel that are usually performed sequentially (data load, index creation, Full Image Copy and Runstats).

In addition, because InfoLoad runs outside DB2, the CPU and elapsed times required for the load process are significantly decreased.

Very Easy to Use

A user-friendly ISPF interface to:

• Select the DB2 objects to be loaded
• Generate and store the suitable JCL.

The work files required for load are allocated dynamically and automatically.

A Simple Process Flow

1. The input data is checked and converted where required.
2. The input file can be a FIC.
3. The Tablespace is loaded and the indexes are created.
4. The DB2 catalogue is updated.
5. One or more Full Image Copies are created.
6. A catalogue update file is created for the Runstats as well as an exception file where applicable.
7. A discard file is created.
8. An execution report is output.
