Choosing an Installation Operating System

Oracle GoldenGate for Db2 for i operates remotely on Intel Linux systems. A few componenets will be automatically copied to the IBM i systems.

Oracle GoldenGate for Db2 for i supports the IBM i Access ODBC Driver 64-bit. For more information, see Supported ODBC Driver and ODBC Driver for IBM i Access Client Solutions.

Consider the following:

  • The best performance is seen with a system that has the lowest network latency to the IBM i system that you use. Although it is possible to run over a wide area network, the performance suffers due to the increased network latency.

  • No special requirements beyond what capture already has for Oracle GoldenGate delivery. Because this Oracle GoldenGate release is a fully-remote distribution, the former Oracle GoldenGate Db2 for i remote product is no longer shipped separately. However, Windows is not supported in Oracle GoldenGate for Db2 for i in this release. If you still require delivery to Db2 for i from Windows, then Oracle GoldenGate Db2 for i remote 12.3 is still available.
