Connect CDC SQData

Once your environment has been prepared, the first steps involve configuring/creating a Daemon, a Capture/Publisher Agent and an Engine, then running each of the three (3) components in standalone Job mode by the administrator user.  This allows you to work out any security or environmental issues before running as a started task which is recommended for ongoing operation in all test and production environments.

This document guides you through the tasks in the following order:

1.Start the zOS ISPF panel Interface.

2.Setting up default libraries, directories, etc.

3.Configuring a Daemon and running in standalone batch mode.

4.Creating/configuring a Db2 Capture/Publisher Agent, registering the Agent with the Daemon and running in batch.

5.If your target is also zOS Db2 then you can creating a no-map replication engine script and running an Engine in standalone batch mode.

Once these steps have been completed and all components are working properly, you are ready to add more source/target interfaces and/or new Engines to your configuration.

One additional and significant activity not discussed in this Quickstart is the initial load of the target datastores and the methods employed to achieve full synchronization of the source and target. See the Db2 Capture topic Initial Target Load and Refresh. The method selected for the initial load of the target datastore must also consider concurrent source database activity. The source capture and target apply process must ensure that source and target synchronization is achieved, often with a "catch-up" phase  during which Connect CDC SQData will perform compensation.
