Using the Ritmo/i .NET Provider

The Ritmo/i .NET provider is included with your Syniti Data Replication release and installed as part of the setup. The version of Ritmo/i that is provided does not include the Ritmo Toolbox or the developer tools. For more information about the different Ritmo versions available, check the Ritmo page on our web site.

The Ritmo/i files can be found in the Syniti Data Replicationinstallation folder, in a separate folder called Ritmo_i.

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

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

Enabling a trace

The file Ritmo_i.xml contains configuration settings for Ritmo and can be found in the folder where Ritmo was installed. You can set a trace file name and enable the trace from this file. Note that the trace 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.

In the Windows Explorer, go to the Syniti Data Replicationinstallation folder, then to the Ritmo_i folder.
Open the file Ritmo_i.xml in a text editor.
Modify the trace entry (in bold below) as needed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="trace" />
</configSections>
<trace>
<tracefile>C:\Program Files\Syniti...</tracefile>
<traceflag>True</traceflag>
</trace>
</configuration>

Save the file and exit the text editor.
