Activating replication for the Db2 service
You need to activate the replication process on both the source and target databases to begin replicating data on Db2.
About this task
Important: To use the Db2® Data Management
Console to
activate replication, enable replication
before you deploy the Data Management Console. If you cannot perform the steps in this order, see
Enabling the DMC to activate
replication.
When you activate replication:
- Db2 settings are changed to provide necessary replication information in the database recovery logs.
- Message queues and other IBM® MQ objects are enabled as the data transport method between the source and targets.
- Metadata tables are created to store your preferences and keep track of replicated data.
- The queue manager, capture process, and replication REST server are started.
