Before data can be converted to DB2, the DataFlex DB2 Driver must be loaded. This is best accomplished by creating a Managed Connection for the workspace. You can also load drivers using the Configure Database Drivers option from the Tools menu in the Studio.
DB2 has a number of rules and specifications that are different from DataFlex. In general, they are less restrictive but not in some cases. The DataFlex Specifications can be found in the DataFlex documentation, the DB2 specifications can be found in the DB2 documentation.
One restriction that you should be aware of is the maximum row size (record length). The maximum row size in DB2 depends on the page size defined for the database. Page size can be 4K, 8K, 16K and 32K. The maximum row size is: 4005 byes for 4K page size, 8101 bytes for 8K page size, 16293 bytes for 16K page size and 32677 bytes for 32 K page size. The actual data for BLOB, CLOB, LONG VARCHAR, DBCLOB and VARGRAPHIC type columns is not included in this maximum. Information about the location of that data takes up some space in the row.
If a DataFlex table to be converted results in a table that does not comply with this rule, the DataFlex table cannot be converted. You must make sure the database uses a page size that allows the records to be converted or you should adjust the definition of the DataFlex table before you can convert it. This means you also need to adjust all DataFlex programs using this table.
