Using the Copy From Import File command to copy between different systems

The Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) command maps or parses the data from (import) an import file to the to-file.

Depending on what type of file the import file is, there are different steps to use when running CPYFRMIMPF.

The CPYFRMIMPF command also supports a parallel-data loader to copy information from an import file to a to-file using multiple threads during the copy operation. To use multiple threads, the system must have the i5/OS operating system option DB2® Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP).
