Prerequisites for Installing Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i

Learn about the requirements for installing Oracle GoldenGate Classic Architecture for DB2 for i.

Oracle GoldenGate for DB2 for i runs directly on a DB2 for i source system to capture data from the transaction journals for replication to a target system. To apply data to a target DB2 for i, Oracle GoldenGate can run directly on the DB2 for i target system or on a remote Windows or Linux system. If installed on a remote system, Replicat delivers the data by means of an ODBC connection, and no Oracle GoldenGate software is installed on the DB2 for i target.

Note:

The DB2 for i platform uses one or more journals to keep a record of transaction change data. For consistency of terminology in the supporting administrative and reference Oracle GoldenGate documentation, the terms log or transaction log may be used interchangeably with the term journal where the use of the term journal is not explicitly required.
