Abstract
An Enterprise Data Movement (EDM) system and method for performing data move operations in an enterprise computing system with improved efficiency. Data move operations preferably use operations of an existing database utility, for example, one or more of an unload or load operation, wherein the utility is already required to be performed. In other words, according to the invention, data move operations preferably use the utilities in an opportunistic or parasitic fashion, when they are already being performed for other reasons, thereby providing a dual purpose operation and increased efficiency.
