IBM DB2 Everyplace Sync Server Administration Guide Version 7 Release 2 Modification 1


Configuring the source database for the Capture program

The Capture program runs continuously on the source system to capture changes made to the source database. For Windows or UNIX source systems, the Capture program must be bound to the source database to work properly. See the instructions in this section or the DB2 Universal Database Replication Guide and Reference for information on how to bind the Capture program

For OS/390 and AS/400 source systems, you must issue a bind-capture job to start the Capture program on the source system. See the DB2 Universal Database Replication Guide and Reference for information on how to issue a bind-capture job.

To configure the source database for the Capture program on a Windows source system

  1. Exit the DB2 Control Center.
  2. Open a DB2 command window. The command line processor displays a window with the following prompt:
    x:\installation_directory\BIN>
    
    where x is the hard disk drive and installation_directory is the directory in which DB2 UDB is installed.
  3. From the source system, issue the bindcap command for the source database in the following format:
    bindcap source_database_name
    
    where source_database_name is the name of the database on the source server

    For example, the command for the VNURSE database is:

    bindcap VNURSE
    
  4. Close the DB2 command window.

To configure the source database for the Capture program on a UNIX source system

  1. Exit the DB2 Control Center.
  2. Make sure you have started the DB2 database manager. If not, issue a db2start command.
  3. On the UNIX terminal, issue the bindcap command for the source database in the following format:
    bindcap source_database_name
    
    where source_database_name is the name of the database on the source server.

    For example, the command for the VNURSE database is:

    bindcap VNURSE
    

    You must issue the command in a directory for which you have the write privileges.
