QDDS Conversion Step

Introduction

Data Migrator supports two data loading modes: CSV and EBCDIC files. To migrate QDDS data types, a preliminary step is necessary to transform them into EBCDIC format before migration. This transformation is the purpose of this step.

Properties

Property name	Description	Values	Default value	Mandatory
input.folder	The data conversion input folder	String	None	Yes
output.folder	The data conversion output folder	String	None	Yes
enable	Whether the step is enabled	true/false	true	No
encoding	Encoding to considerer when reading files	String	Value of property defined in global step	No
ignoreLogicallyDeletedRecords	To ignore a record (row) which is marked logically as deleted	true/false	false	No
multithread	Number of threads to use for parallel steps	Integer	Value of property defined in global step	No

Example

The following setting illustrates the configuration settings for the QDDS conversion step

[ConvertQDDS - Conversion1]
encoding=CP037
input.folder=data/inputs
output.folder=data/DataFiles

This configuration section specifies:

CP037 encodes the characters when reading input files
data/inputs serves as the source directory for files awaiting conversion
data/DataFiles serves as the target directory to store the converted data
