Hi,
I'm new to DB2 world and have a very basic query.
In our project, we have to read data from a flat file and load it in the table. We need to schedule the job so that it runs daily at the specified time.

Is this possible in DB2 Version 7?

Thanks

Varsha,

surely the correct way to do this is leave the scheduling down to your operating system, or a scheduling package you run on your operating system.

Thanks Greg!
Does DB2 support any DTS type functionality in which data could be loaded from a flat file and that can be scheduled?
 
YEs ... data can be loaded from a flat file and this load operation can be scheduled using the Script Centre ...

If you are using Unix, I'd recommend to use cron to schedule your jobs ... In that way, you need not use the graphical tools to know about the scheduled jobs

If you are on Windows, yes, it will not make any difference


Cheers
