Setting up DataJoiner for Windows NT

This section describes how to prepare DataJoiner for Windows NT for replication.

Installing DataJoiner

In the DB2 DataJoiner Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide, you have the option of installing DJRA after you install DataJoiner. You do not have to select the Apply program. Apply for Windows NT is automatically installed when you install DataJoiner.

Setting up an instance

The DataJoiner databases that you set up for replication reside on one DataJoiner instance. You must create one DataJoiner database for each non-IBM replication source server. You can support many non-IBM replication target servers with one DataJoiner database. The DataJoiner databases that you set up reside on one DataJoiner instance. Use the DB2 CREATE DATABASE command to create each database. See the DB2 DataJoiner Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide for more information.

You can configure Windows NT to automatically start your DataJoiner instance and DB2 security service:

  1. Select My Computer from the desktop.

  2. Select Services.

  3. Select the DB2 instance to be used for replication and the DB2 security server.

  4. Select Startup.

Configuring database connections

The Apply program in DataJoiner uses the connections that you configure in this section to access source, target, and control servers.

Table 35. Configuring Database Connections in DataJoiner: NT
If accessing You need to
DB2 UDB V6 or DB2 CS V2 Catalog DB2 in DataJoiner
DB2 for MVS or DB2 for OS/390 Catalog the DB2 database
Informix, Sybase, Sybase SQL Anywhere, MS SQL Server, or Oracle Create a server mapping and user mapping within DataJoiner

You must define server and user mappings, as directed in the DB2 DataJoiner Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide, for each DataJoiner database that requires access to a source or target. You must have one DataJoiner database for each non-IBM replication source server. You can support many non-IBM replication target servers with one DataJoiner database. The DataJoiner databases that you set up reside on one DataJoiner instance.

Connecting clients to DataJoiner

For Apply programs on DB2 UDB or DB2 CS, refer to the applicable chapter of DB2 DataJoiner Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide for information about your network's communication protocol: TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or APPC.

The steps that are described in the "Connecting Clients to DB2 DataJoiner" section in the DB2 DataJoiner Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide must be performed for each DataJoiner database that is created to replicate with a remote Apply program.

What to do next

Before proceeding to Installing DJRA and connecting all databases, make sure that you install all Capture and Apply programs on the systems of your choice.
