Batch Import XML to DB2 – 2 Common Use Cases
Handle bulk XML imports with our specialized wizards – same simple process for all bulk operations:
Use Case 1: Multiple XML Files → Multiple DB2 Tables (N Files → N Tables)
Ideal for organizing related XML files into their own tables (e.g., countries.xml → countries table):
- Connect to DB2, click Wizard → N Files To N Tables
- Select folder with XML files (filter *.xml, recursive folders supported)
- Auto-configure first XML file's structure (applies to all files)
- Map each XML file to corresponding DB2 table (auto-mapping for matching names) 📷
- Preview settings and select load type (Replace/Append)
- Bulk import – all files to their tables in one go 📷
Use Case 2: Multiple XML Files → Single DB2 Table (N Files → 1 Table)
Perfect for combining identical XML datasets into one table (e.g., 1.xml, 2.xml → employees table):
- Connect to DB2, click Wizard → N Files To 1 Table
- Select folder with XML files (supports >4GB, recursive folders)
- Configure first XML file's structure (auto-applies to all)
- Select single target DB2 table and map fields (auto-mapping)
- Preview combined data and adjust settings
- Bulk import – merge all XML data into one table 📷
Update & Upsert DB2 Data from XML
Sync XML data with DB2 – no manual SQL queries required:
Update DB2 from XML
Overwrite existing DB2 rows with fresh XML data (match by unique key):
- Follow 1 File → 1 Table wizard (or bulk wizard)
- In Load Type, select Update and choose key column 📷
- Map XML fields to DB2 table fields
- Preview updated data and click convert
Upsert XML to DB2 (Insert + Update)
Insert new rows, update existing rows (match by key) – the ultimate sync mode:
- Follow standard import wizard
- In Load Type, select Upsert and choose unique key column 📷
- Map fields and preview data
- Click convert – auto-handles inserts and updates in one step
Automate & Schedule XML to DB2 Imports
Turn repetitive import tasks into automated, scheduled jobs (Windows/Linux/macOS):
Step 1: Save Your Import Session
- Complete XML to DB2 import/upsert/update in GUI
- Click Save Session to store all settings (paths, mapping, load type)
Step 2: Generate a Script for CLI
- Export saved session to .bat (Windows) or .sh (Linux/macOS) script 📷
- Run script via command line – no GUI required
Step 3: Schedule Recurring Tasks
- Windows: Use Task Scheduler to run .bat file (daily/hourly/weekly)
- Linux/macOS: Use Crontab to schedule .sh file
Why automate? Eliminate manual work, ensure real-time sync, run imports in background.
