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
x:\installation_directory\BIN>where x is the hard disk drive and installation_directory is the directory in which DB2 UDB is installed.
bindcap source_database_namewhere source_database_name is the name of the database on the source server
For example, the command for the VNURSE database is:
bindcap VNURSE
To configure the source database for the Capture program on a UNIX source system
bindcap source_database_namewhere 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.
