The date-transfer applications in the iSeries™ Access Family licensed program have the advantage of an easy-to-follow graphical interface, and automatic numeric and character data conversion.
However, data transfer requires the installation of the iSeries Access Family product and requires use of both PC and iSeries server resources and communications between the two.
If you have iSeries Access Family installed on the PC and your server, you can use the data transfer applications to transfer data between stream files and database files. You can also transfer data into a new database file based on an existing database file, into an externally-described database file, or into a new database file definition and file.
