Replicating IBM watsonx.data data
You can replicate data from other databases to IBM watsonx.data with the Data Replication service.
IBM watsonx.data is an open, hybrid, and governed fit-for-purpose data store optimized to scale all data, analytics, and AI workloads to get greater value from your analytics ecosystem.
You can use IBM watsonx.data with the Data Replication service starting with the 5.1.0 release.
Supported versions
IBM watsonx.data 2.1.0 on a Red Hat OpenShift cluster where Data Replication is installed.
Data Replication with watsonx.data only supports the following:
- IBM watsonx.data connections using username and API key
Important:
You cannot use an IBM watsonx.data connection that does not use a username and API key when you set up a replication asset. - IBM watsonx.data Iceberg catalogs
- IBM watsonx.data S3-compatible storage
Restriction
IBM watsonx.data can only be used as a target data store for Data Replication.
Before you begin
Before replicating data to IBM watsonx.data, configure an Iceberg catalog and some S3-compatible storage watsonx.data instance you use. For details configuring watsonx.data, see IBM watsonx.data documentation.
Connecting to IBM watsonx.data in a project
To connect to IBM watsonx.data in a project, see IBM watsonx.data Presto connection.
Once a watsonx.data target is selected, you can select the catalog for Data Replication to use and set additional parameters such as the replication data file prefix and thresholds that determine when and how Data Replication commits data.
By default, Data Replication creates a namespace with the same name as the source schema. If you specify a value for target schema, Data Replication uses the provided schema name for the target namespace.
