Replication Center is now a stand-alone tool

Details

In Version 10.1, the Replication Center is available as a stand-alone tool on Linux and Windows operating systems. In earlier releases, it was grouped with other Administration tools such as the Control Center. The Administration tools have been discontinued.

In Version 10.1, the Replication Center is installed as part of the replication tools component by default in typical or custom installations. However, the compact installation no longer installs the replication tools component, which includes the Replication Center. In earlier releases, the replication tools were a required component for compact installations for certain products. For information about the DB2 database product editions that include Replication tools, see Functionality in DB2 features and DB2 product editions.

In Version 10.1, the db2rc command is available to start the Replication Center. The db2cc -rc command that was available in previous releases is discontinued.

On Windows operating systems, you can also click Start > Programs > IBM DB2 > DB2 copy name > Replication Center, where DB2 copy name indicates the name of the DB2® copy that you specified during installation.

All the Replication Center functionality of previous releases is still available and supported.

Resolution

To install the Replication Center, make sure that you select a typical or custom installation for any of the DB2 database products.

To start the Replication Center, issue the db2rc command. On Windows operating systems, you can also use the Start menu.
