Installing SSMA for DB2 Client (DB2ToSQL)

The SSMA client consists of the program files that perform the following tasks:

  • Connect to a DB2 database.

  • Connect to an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].

  • Convert DB2 database objects to [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] syntax.

  • Load the objects into [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].

  • Migrate data to [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].

This topic provides the installation prerequisites and instructions for installing SSMA.

Prerequisites

SSMA is designed to work with DB2 on z/OS version 9.0 and 10.0 or DB2 on LUW version 9.8 and 10.1 or later versions and [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] 2012 or later versions.

Before you install SSMA, make sure that the computer meets the following requirements:

  • Windows 7 or later versions, or Windows Server 2008 or later versions.

  • [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Windows Installer 3.1 or later versions.

  • The [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEdnprdnshort] version 4.0 or a later version. The [!INCLUDEdnprdnshort] version 4.0 is available on the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] product media. You can also obtain it from the .NET Framework Developer Center.

  • Microsoft OLEDB Provider for DB2 version 5 or a later version, and connectivity to the DB2 databases that you want to migrate.

  • Access to and sufficient permissions on the computer that hosts the target instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] or Azure SQL DB where you will be migrating database objects and data. For more information, see Connecting to SQL Server (DB2eToSQL).

  • 4 GB RAM recommended.
