GoldenGate for DB2 on zos

GoldenGate for DB2 on zos GoldenGate for DB2 on zos Objective Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to configure GoldenGate to provide DB2 synchronization on a zos platform. During this lesson, you will learn how to: Prepare your user environment. Configure and execute the initial data synchronization process. Configure and start the change capture process of database operations. Configure and start the change delivery process of database operations. DB2 zos configuration The following diagram illustrates the configuration for capturing changes from a zos database and replicating them to a zos database. zos server <source> zos <target> DB2 <datasource> Source <owner/schema> Manager Network Manager Log Extract Collector Trails DB2<datasource> Replicat Target <owner/schema> Page 1

GoldenGate for DB2 on zos Overview of Tasks Prepare the Environment In order to execute this lesson, the GoldenGate application must be installed on both the source and target systems. The installation includes a sample database and scripts to generate initial data as well as subsequent update operations. The source and target tables are created and loaded with initial data. The GoldenGate Manager processes are also started so that other processes may be configured and started. Configure Initial Data Synchronization Initial database synchronization is almost always required. GoldenGate provides the ability to perform initial data synchronization while your application remains active. This lesson demonstrates using Extract to pull data from the source files and send it directly to the Replicat component on the target system. zos <source> server zos server <target> <datasource> Network <datasource> Source <owner/schema> Initial Extract Replicat Target <owner/schema> Configure Change Capture For log-based DB2, Extract captures database changes directly from the DB2 logs and distributes them to files known as GoldenGate trails. Configure Change Delivery Once the tables have been initially loaded with data, the Delivery process is configured to deliver the captured change data into the target database. Page 2

GGSCI> EDIT PARAMS EINI<unique id> 11 The process names used in lab exercises, for example EINIBD1, are made up of 1) one character to identify the type of process (E for Extract, R for Replicat); 2) three characters to describe the type of process (INI for initial data load, ORA for capture from or delivery to an Oracle database, etc.) and 3) three characters usually made up of the student s initials plus a sequential number to uniquely identify multiple occurrences of that type of process.
