Hi,

 

Is there any better and faster way of migrating the SAS data sets from one data center to the other data center.These two data centers are in different locations and source data center is a Unix server and Target data center is in Linux.

 

PROC CPORT and CIMPORT would take lot of time and my data is very huge  (runs in TBs').

 

Thanks,

Vijayanand.

If you have different architectures (suggested by your use of UNIX vs. Linux), cport/cimport is the way to go, as the datasets need to be converted.

I would not worry that much about cport/cimport, but about the physical transfer between the datacenters. That will most probably be the bottleneck.

cport/cimport can be mostly automated with a simple program and shell scripting.

 

With reasonable hardware, you should be able to convert at least 100 MB/s, which would equate 3 hours for a TB.
