Using the Ritmo/Db2 .NET Provider

The Ritmo/Db2 .NET provider is included with your Syniti Data Replication release and installed as part of the setup. The version of Ritmo/Db2 that is provided with Syniti DR does not include the Ritmo Toolbox. For more information about Ritmo features, check the Ritmo page on our web site.

The Ritmo/Db2 files can be found in the installation folder, in a separate folder called Ritmo Db2.

The following topic may be useful when using Ritmo/Db2 with Syniti DR.

See IBM Db2 Connection Requirements for information on the type of permissions you need to set up a connection to IBM Db2.

Enabling a trace

The file RitmoDb2.xml contains configuration settings for Ritmo and can be found in the folder where Ritmo was installed. You can set trace file names for high and/or low level traces and enable the traces from this file. Note that the traces will run whenever Ritmo is in use, and you should set <traceflag> to False immediately after completing the operations that you wanted to trace. If you leave the trace running, it can affect performance and build up large trace files.

  1. In the Windows Explorer, go to the Syniti DR installation folder, then to the Ritmo_Db2 folder.

  2. Open the file RitmoDb2.xml in a text editor.

  3. Modify the trace entries in bold below. For easy access to the tracefile, specify a pathname. The default path depends on your version of Windows. Note that the <traceflag> entry should be set to true to enable the trace.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="trace" />
</configSections>
<trace>
<high>
   <tracefile>sqlDb2.trc</tracefile>
   <traceflag>true</traceflag>
</high>
</trace>
</configuration>

  1. Save the file and exit the text editor.
