1 Introduction to CDC Adapter Installation

This book describes how to install Oracle Connect, Oracle Application Server CDC Adapters, and Oracle Studio.

This section includes the following topics:

Overview

CDC adapters integrate Oracle Application Server to capture and deliver changes made to legacy and mainframe data sources. These adapters include OracleAS CDC Adapter for Adabas, OracleAS CDC Adapter for DB2, OracleAS CDC Adapter for IMS/DB, OracleAS CDC Adapter for SQL Server, and OracleAS CDC Adapter for VSAM.

Table 1-1 describes the CDC adapters. These adapters are deployed as J2CA 1.5 resource adapters within an Oracle WebLogic container during installation.
