Import data from DB2




You can import data from the DB2 database into Zoho DataPrep using Zoho Databridge. Click here to know about Zoho Databridge.

Before looking into how to import data, let's take a look at the pre-requisites to connect to the DB2 database. 

Prerequisites for DB2

Please ensure the following conditions are met before proceeding with connecting to your DB2.

1. Provide database read permissions to the Zoho DataPrep server.

2. Ensure you have the correct login credentials for your database. As a best practice, try connecting to your target database from the Zoho DataPrep server, using the native database management software available for the respective database.

To import data from DB2

1. Open an existing pipeline or create a pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab and click the Add data option.
InfoInfo: You can also click the Import data  icon at the top of the pipeline builder to bring data from multiple sources into the pipeline.


2. In the next screen, choose the required database or click the Databases category from the left pane. 



3. Select New connection from the Connection drop down. If you have existing connections, you can choose the required connection from the Connection drop down. 

4. Give your connection a name under the Connection name section.

5. Zoho Databridge is a tool that facilitates importing data from local databases. Databridge is mandatory to import data from any local database.
Notes
Note: If this is the first time you are downloading Zoho Databridge, see how to install it here.



6. Once you have installed Databridge on your machine, select your Databridge from the Databridge drop-down. 
Notes
Note: Select the Databridge which is installed in the same network as the database you want to import the data from.

7. Select DB2 in the Database type drop down and enter the Database server host name and Port number.

8. Enter your Database name and provide the username and password if authentication is required.

Note: You can also select the Use SSL checkbox if your database server has been setup to serve encrypted data through SSL.




9. Save your database configuration and connect to the database using Connect.
Notes
Note: The connection configuration will be automatically saved for importing from the database in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.

10. Select the tables that need to be imported. 



11. You can also use alternatively a SQL query to import data. 
Warning
The incremental fetch option is not available when the data is imported using a query from databases. Click here to know more about incremental fetch from local database.


12. Click the Import button.

13Once you are done creating your data flow and applying necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and add a destination to complete your data flow.
Notes
Note:  After adding a destination to the pipeline, you can try executing your pipeline using a manual run at first. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here.
While configuring the Schedule, Backfill, Manual reload, Webhooks, or Zoho Flow, the import configuration needs to be mandatorily setup for all the sources. Without setting up the import configuration, the run cannot be saved. Click here to know more about how to set up import configuration.

14. After configuring a run, a pipeline job will be created at the run time. You can view the status of a job with the granular details in the Job summary. Click here to know more about the job summary.

To edit the DB2 connection

DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid the hassle of keying in the credentials every time you need to connect to a data source or destination. You can always edit the saved data connection and update them with new parameters or credentials using the Edit connection option. 

1. While creating a new dataset, click Saved data connections from the left pane in the Choose a data source section. 



2. You can manage your saved data connections right from the data import screen. Click the ellipsis (3 dots) icon to share, edit, view the connection overview, or remove the connection. 



3. Click the Edit connection option to update the saved connection with new parameters or credentials.
