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


Configuring the mid-tier mirror database for the Capture program

The Capture program runs on the mid-tier system on an as-needed basis as synchronization requests are issued. The program must be bound to the mid-tier mirror database for DataPropagator to capture changes submitted by users and to apply them to the source database.

To configure the mid-tier mirror database for the Capture program on a Windows NT 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 mirror database on the mid-tier server in the following format:
    bindcap mirror_database_name
    
    where mirror_database_name is the name of the mirror database on the mid-tier server.

    For example, the command for the M_VNURSE database is:

    bindcap M_VNURSE
    
  4. Close the DB2 command window.

To configure the mid-tier mirror 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 on the UNIX source system. If not, issue a db2start command.
  3. On the UNIX terminal of the source system, issue the bindcap command for the mirror database in the following format:
    bindcap mirror_database_name
    
    where mirror_database_name is the name of the mirror database on the mid-tier server.

    For example, the command for the M_VNURSE database is:

    bindcap M_VNURSE
    

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