Integration with DB2

The replication components are integrated with DB2 Universal Database more closely than before.

DB2 DataPropagator for OS/390 feature

When you order DB2 for OS/390 V6, you also receive a free trial version of DB2 DataPropagator for OS/390. This trial version has all the features and functions of the standard product. You can use the trial version for 90 days without paying a licensing charge. After the trial period ends, you must order a license for the DB2 DataPropagator priced feature to continue using the product.

Integrated install for OS/390

You can install DB2 DataPropagator for OS/390 V6 using the DB2 Installer interface. The DB2 Installer is a workstation-based tool that provides an easy-to-read map for the entire installation process. The status of a task is denoted by the changed icons on the windows. Help text is provided for each field, and "Guide Me" help text is provided for each window.

Web Control Center

A Java version of the DB2 Control Center is available. You can use it to perform administration tasks from a Web browser. It includes improved support for administering replication environments for DB2 for OS/390. For more information about this new interface, see the DB2 Universal Database documentation.

DataJoiner Replication Administration tool

The DataJoiner Replication Administration (DJRA) tool comes with DB2 Universal Database and it runs on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT operating systems. With DJRA, you can perform administration tasks for replication configurations involving DB2 databases, non-IBM databases, or both. Using DJRA, you can easily promote (copy) your replication criteria from one environment to another. You can also start a replication monitor to help you monitor replication activity and produce periodic reports about that activity. If your files are stored on the AS/400 platform, you can use DJRA to automatically generate relative record numbers (RRN) for replication sources so that you can replicate data without user-defined unique keys. The details about these and other benefits of DJRA are documented in this book.
