***************************************************************************** ## NOTE:--------While downloading the data from production to test. If you are using Export/Import presently it is asking for TDQUEUE name. Another solution to do the downloading is as follows: Go to the production DB2 region using QMF2P and select the desired rows which you want to move into test. SELECT * FROM CMISDBP.SMSHRPVW WHERE (.................) Once you see the result table in report panel, connect the DB2 test region by typing 'connect to DB23' on command line. You will get the message like 'connected to DB23'. Now save the data by typing 'save data as temp' on command line. Now you can insert the data in test region by typing INSERT INTO CMISDBT.SMSHPRVW SELECT * FROM TEMP on query panel.
