Replicate data between DB2 databases on System z

IBM® InfoSphere® Change Data Capture for z/OS® replicates data from IBM DB2® for z/OS in near real time to support business analytics, dynamic warehousing, application management, master data management (MDM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives. The software is now part of IBM InfoSphere Data Replication for DB2 for z/OS. It supports enterprise data volumes while maintaining transactional integrity and consistency.

InfoSphere Change Data Capture for z/OS provides:

Low impact data capture—captures changed data directly from database logs rather than querying the database.
Flexible, simplified data delivery—to provide high throughput of information throughout the enterprise.
Integration with IBM and other systems—to enhance existing platforms and support broader information management processes.

Low impact data capture

Uses native log-based technology to capture changed data with minimal impact on IBM z/OS source applications.
Uses peer-to-peer architecture and native support for TCP/IP to deliver direct database connectivity.
Monitors systems on z/OS for specific transactions, and can package the information as a single XML message to target a specific message queue.
Helps eliminate batch windows by providing continuous extract, transform and load (ETL) of data into target systems.
Requires no data staging or gateway technologies.

Flexible, simplified data delivery

Provides monitoring capabilities to accelerate troubleshooting.
Uses graphs to provide visual representations of throughput and latency, enabling a quicker assessment of health and status of the environment.
Enables unidirectional, bidirectional, many-to-one and one-to-many delivery of data.
Uses live audit capability to provide a history of changes made to source tables.

Integration with IBM and other systems

Supports SOAs by packaging data transactions into XML documents and delivering to messaging middleware such as IBM WebSphere® MQ.
Integrates with IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture, which is now part of IBM InfoSphere Data Replication, to provide broad database and operating system support for both distributed and IBM System z® environments.
Supports IBM DB2, IBM i, IBM Informix®, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM IMS™ and Teradata databases. Also supports flat file integration.
