Usage Guideline

It is mandatory to specify the source database, input folder path, and output folder path, and optional to specify the migration type and log path.

If a user does not specify the logging path, then the tool creates the log folder in the TOOL_HOME path and saves all the logs in this log folder.

Examples

./runDSC.sh --source-db Teradata --input-folder opt/DSC/DSC/input/oracle/ --output-folder /opt/DSC/DSC/output/ --log-folder /opt/DSC/DSC/log/ --application-lang SQL --conversion-type ddl --targetdb gaussdbA
