Part III Using Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i

With Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i, you can perform initial loads and capture transactional data from supported DB2 for i versions and replicate the data to a DB2 for i database or other supported Oracle GoldenGate targets, such as an Oracle Database. 

Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i supports data filtering, mapping, and transformations unless noted otherwise in this documentation. Perform initial loads from DB2 for i to target tables in DB2 for i or other databases to instantiate a synchronized replication environment.

This part describes tasks for configuring and running Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i.

Topics:

• Understanding What's Supported for DB2 for i
  This chapter contains information on database and table features supported by Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i.
• Preparing the System for Oracle GoldenGate
  This chapter contains guidelines for preparing the DB2 for i system to support Oracle GoldenGate.
• Configuring Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i
  This chapter contains instructions for configuring Oracle GoldenGate to capture source DB2 for i data and apply it to a supported target database.
• Instantiating and Starting Oracle GoldenGate Replication
  This chapter contains instructions for configuring an initial load of target data, adding the required processes to instantiate replication, and perform the instantiation. The expected outcome of these steps is that source-target data is made consistent (known as the initial synchronization), and that Oracle GoldenGate captures and delivers ongoing transactional changes so that consistency is maintained going forward.
• Using Remote Journal
  This chapter contains instructions for remote journal preparation and adding a remote journal. Remote Journal support in the IBM DB2 for i operating system provides the ability for a system to replicate, in its entirety, a sequence of journal entries from one DB2 for i system to another. Once setup, this replication is handled automatically and transparently by the operating system. The entries that are replicated are placed in a journal on the target system that is available to be read by an application in the same way as on the source system.
