Prepare Source Capture Environment

Scroll

Kafka is a Target only datastore that may have one or more Source datastores. This Quickstart assumes that you have already determined where your Kafka data will come from and that you have installed and configured Connect CDC SQData's Change Data Capture (CDC) component on the source platform.

The first step in this Quickstart is to ensure that the Source Data Capture installation and configuration tasks have been completed. Each of these steps are described in detail in the Connect CDC SQData Operating Systems specific Installation Guides and the source datastore "type" specific Change Data Capture references.

Note: The Replicator Engine introduced with Version 4 requires Connect CDC SQData's V4 Db2 z/OS Data Capture agent and supports only IBM's Db2 version 12 for z/OS. Prior to release 12 of Db2 z/OS it was impossible to ensure the availability of schema information describing the "before Image" in the Db2 Log.
