IBM Db2 LUW Topics

Syniti Data Replication supports use of IBM Db2 LUW for:

• Refresh replications, both source and target
• Mirroring replications, both source and target. For source connections, Syniti Data Replication offers the transaction log and triggers
• Synchronization

For mirroring replications using the transaction log, set up your IBM Db2 LUW environment as follows:

• DBADM or SYSADM Login ID.

• Db2 Log settings as follows:
  LOGRETAIN: Recovery
  LOGARCHMETH1:LOGRETAIN or DISK

• Copy file from <InstallDir>/ServerFiles/Db2UDB to
  <Db2 Home Directory>/function on Db2 server.

• Rename copied file to Db2udbreadlog02.dll (Db2udbreadlog02 for LINUX/AIX)

For mirroring replications using triggers, set up your IBM Db2 LUW environment as follows:

• Use Db2 UDB v. 7.2 or higher

• Obtain Package creation privileges for the first connection (DBMS tools)

• Set security mechanism in Syniti Data Replication ( Management Center)
