can't convert data from oracle8i to db2 ver 7.1

Hello

I downloaded IBM Migration toolkit 1.4 to convert data from oracle8i to db2
ver 7.1. When I went thru quick wizard & came to "connect to database"
window, there is text field in which ODBC name or service name is to be
given, I tried all possible means even then "can't get oracle connection"
messg is display. What sort of string is to be passed in that text field.

I have passed this format : jdbcracle:thin:@10.12.115.141:1712:XYZ

What's wrong.

If it doesn't support db2 ver 7.1 then which toolkit supports?

Looking forward for an early reply.

Thanks & Regards
Paresh Shah

You try to connect to a DB2 database using an oracle connection string?
How's that supposed to work?

Have you tried it with DB2 V8? After all, V7 is out of service for more
than a your (and V7.1 even longer).

what I mean was does IBM have toolkit which supports db2 ver 7.1 though outdated because toolkit must be there for db2 ver 7.1 when this version was released.

I don't know when the migration toolkit was initially released and if it
ever did support DB2 V7. You might want to send an email to the address
given here: http://tinyurl.com/baax4

But nevertheless, I would recommend that you do not use software that isn't
supported any longer. Can't you move to DB2 V8?
