Issue/Introduction

Is there an easy way to copy select models from one CA Gen Host Encyclopedia (HE) to another CA Gen Host Encyclopedia (HE) where the two HEs are on different DB2 Subsystems.

Environment

Release : 8.5, 8.6 

Component : CA Gen Host Encyclopedia

Resolution

The short answer is that their isn't an easy way to copy select/individual models from one Host Encyclopedia to another Host Encyclopedia across DB2 Subsystems. 

We have the Host Encyclopedia panel option 'Copy Model Across Encyclopedias' but this is assuming both Encyclopedias are within the same DB2 Subsystem.

 

 Other options would be to either: 

- Do an unload and load of the database. 

- Perform a download with 'upload option' on select models set to yes, to download from one encyclopedia and upload to another encyclopedia (versus downloading to the Toolset).
