Online backup/restore & log rollforward for ESE to pureScale Merged

Topic : Restore from DB2 Enterprise Server Edition to DB2 pureScale instance
URL : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/t0061012.html?lang=en

It mentions about the procedure :
To restore a database from a DB2 Enterprise Server Edition instance to a DB2 pureScale instance:
1) Optional: On the source instance (ESE), run the db2checkSD command
2) Perform an offline database backup
3) On the target instance (DB2 pureScale instance that includes, for example, member 0 in the topology), restore the backup on the DB2 pureScale instance with members 0, 1, and 2 from member 0 (the common member).
4) On the target instance, run the db2checkSD command again

TSMC hopes : DB2 can support online database backup in step-2
