Connect CDC SQData

Once your environment has been prepared, the first steps involve configuring/creating a Daemon, a Capture Agent, the Publisher Agent and an Engine. Next, each of the four (4) components will be run in standalone batch mode by the administrator user.  This allows you to work out any security or environmental issues before running in started task mode.

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.Creating a Daemon and running it in standalone batch mode.

4.Creating and configuring an IMS Capture Agent, registering the Agent with the Daemon and running in batch.

5.Creating and configuring a Publisher Agent, registering the Agent with the Daemon and running in batch.

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