MBDT Configuration Utility

The MDBT Configuration Utility enables you to configure options for the following tools:

SQLTP2 tool

Enables you to specify how to handle dynamic SQL statements during migration.

SQLUTB tool

Enables you to specify the issuing of single or multiple commit statements during a LOAD operation. The default is a single commit issued after all records have been loaded.

You can also use this tool to specify the format of DATE columns for input data and output data, respectively, and to check the row size of the table against the LRECL of SYSREC using Fuji mainframe behavior.

We recommend that you use the single commit to provide optimal performance. However, if DBMS logging or other such issues are a concern, you might prefer the multiple commit. For the multiple commit, you also specify a batch size (number of rows). During the LOAD operation, a commit is issued each time the batch size has been reached.

SQLTUL tool

Enables you to specify that the return code (RC=04) for execution of non-SELECT * statements should match the mainframe DSNTIAUL return code. The default is to not match the return code, but to return RC=0.

The SQLTUL tool also enables you to specify how to handle dynamic SQL statements during execution by setting either the HCOSS or Agnostic options:[1]

HCOSS

For SQL Server databases in which dynamic SQL statements are z/OS DB2 statements. This option is required when you are using HCOSS to migrate the database and your code contains z/OS DB2 SQL statements.

Agnostic

For SQL Server, DB2 for z/OS, DB2 LUW, Oracle, and PostgreSQL databases in which dynamic SQL statements are specific to the DBMS vendor specifications. Default.

You run the MBDT configuration utility from the command line.
