So I am working on a migration and I’m just looking at some possible ways to extract and reload my data.
My thought - arsdoc get with -L, read from parameter file with a listing of load ID’s. Do this on an app group by app group basis. We only have like 10, but a good amount of data.
We have a process, a weird one- that extracts from a “short term” application group and loads into a “long term” application group. This was handled by a third party years ago, and since I joined I redid it with a few basic shell scripts. My script generates a list of dates of the month prior, and loops through that + an app group name, and does all the magic. This process is very good. I can’t wrap my head around why they are going from one app group to another. I think it’s for performance at the db level or something
I figure there’s other ways, where I can extract a month of data per file, etc. so I guess my three options I’m trying to weigh
1) retrieve an entire load, reload with arsload
2) retrieve an entire day, reload with arsload
3) retrieve an entire month, reload with arsload.
I’m leaning towards one. I also think that would be easier to recover if there’s some kind of issue.
What’s everyone’s thoughts.
