title: Can I dump a DB2 database on an AS400 to Windows or Linux?
body: <p>It's been years since I've worked with DB2, but I just inherited a legacy appllication that reads/writes to DB2 via JDBC and it runs on an AS400. I don't have a lot of details yet on the platform or versions, but I am wondering is it generally possible to migrate a copy of the DB to either Windows or Linux version of DB2?  The application accesses the data over a very slow pipe and I'd like to be able to cut a copy of the DB for local development. The JDBC driver used is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If that helps...</p>
  
  <p>Any/all replies are appreciated!</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Update: I just found out that DB2 version is 7.1 and the platform is iSeries (should I be asking for additional details regarding the platform?)</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>~~ Cheers ~~</p>
