My mistake - sorry!

The DMBS/Copy expert here at DataFlux says that almost all of the
DBMS/Analyst features are available in Copy.  Not exactly sure what
you would like to accomplish with Analyst, but Copy may support your
requirements.  You can find contact information on the DataFlux web
site - our DBMS/Copy expert may be able to help out!

Best Regards,
Mike
