Generate reports (Db2ToSQL)

  • Article

The reports of certain activities performed using commands are generated in SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Console at object tree level.

Generate a report

Use the following procedure to generate reports:

  1. Specify the write-summary-report-to parameter. The related report is stored as the file name (if specified) or in the folder you specify. The file name is system-predefined as mentioned in the following table, where <n> is the unique file number that increments with a digit with each execution of the same command.

    The reports are related to the commands as follows:

    Slot number Command Report title
    1 generate-assessment-report AssessmentReport<n>.xml
    2 convert-schema SchemaConversionReport<n>.xml
    3 migrate-data DataMigrationReport<n>.xml
    4 convert-sql-statement ConvertSQLReport<n>.xml
    5 synchronize-target TargetSynchronizationReport<n>.xml
    6 refresh-from-database SourceDBRefreshReport<n>.xml

    Important

    An output report is different from Assessment Report. The former is a report on the performance of an executed command, while the latter is an XML report for programmatic consumption.

    For the command options for output reports (from Slot number 2 - 4 in the previous table), refer to the Execute the SSMA console section.

  2. Indicate the extent of detail you desire in the output report using the Report Verbosity settings:

    Slot number Command and parameter Output description
    1 verbose="false" Generates a summarized report of the activity.
    2 verbose="true" Generates a summarized and detailed status report for each activity.

    Note

    Report Verbosity settings apply to the generate-assessment-report, convert-schema, migrate-data, and convert-sql-statement commands.

  3. Indicate the extent of detail you desire in the error reports using the Error Reporting settings:

    Slot number Command and parameter Output description
    1 report-errors="false" No details on error, warning, or info messages.
    2 report-errors="true" Detailed error, warning, or info messages.

    Note

    Error Reporting settings apply to the generate-assessment-report, convert-schema, migrate-data, and convert-sql-statement commands.

Example

<generate-assessment-report
   object-name="<object-name>"
   object-type="<object-type>"
   verbose="<true/false>"
   report-erors="<true/false>"
   write-summary-report-to="<file-name/folder-name>"
   assessment-report-folder="<folder-name>"
   assessment-report-overwrite="<true/false>"/>

Report commands

synchronize-target

The command synchronize-target has report-errors-to parameter, which specifies the location of error report for the synchronization operation. Then, a file by name TargetSynchronizationReport<n>.xml is created at the specified location, where <n> is the unique file number that increments with a digit with each execution of the same command.

Note

If the folder path is given, then report-errors-to parameter becomes an optional attribute for the command synchronize-target.

The following example synchronizes the entire target database with all attributes.

<synchronize-target
   object-name="<object-name>"
   on-error="report-total-as-warning/report-each-as-warning/fail-script"
   report-errors-to="<file-name/folder-name>"/>

  • object-name specifies the objects considered for synchronization. It can also have individual object names or a group object name.

  • on-error specifies whether to specify synchronization errors as warnings or error. Available options for on-error:

    • report-total-as-warning
    • report-each-as-warning
    • fail-script

refresh-from-database

The command refresh-from-database has the report-errors-to parameter, which specifies the location of error report for the refresh operation. Then, a file by name SourceDBRefreshReport<n>.xml is created at the specified location, where <n> is the unique file number that increments with a digit with each execution of the same command.

If the folder path is given, then report-errors-to parameter becomes an optional attribute for the command synchronize-target.

The following example refreshes the entire schema with all attributes.

<refresh-from-database
   object-name="<object-name>"
   object-type ="<object-type>"
   on-error="report-total-as-warning/report-each-as-warning/fail-script"
   report-errors-to="<file-name/folder-name>"/>

  • object-name specifies the objects considered for refresh. It can also have individual object names or a group object name.

  • on-error specifies whether to specify refresh errors as warnings or error. Available options for on-error:

    • report-total-as-warning
    • report-each-as-warning
    • fail-script
