Hi Experts,

I am planning to take system copy -Export ,

System Details:

Windows server 2003 32 bit

DB2 is version 8.1(32 bit).

Can i import the system copy in DB2 version 8.2 with Windows server 2003 (64 bit).

Please let me know if there is any prerequisites for this.

Thanks in Advance,

It is supported to restore 32 bit backup  image into 64 bit db2 installation (if endianess match) AND you can restore db backup taken no more than two db versions lower (in your case you can restore into 8.1 or 8.2 or 9.1).

Perform db offline backup on 32 bit 8.1 and restore it on 64 bit - thats all.
