Using Remote Journal

This topic 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.

You must have an understanding of how to setup and use remote journaling on an Db2 for i system to use this feature with Oracle GoldenGate. There are no special software requirements for either Oracle GoldenGate or the Db2 for i systems to use remote journaling.
