After you install and configure the CDC Replication Engine for Netezza Technology

Once you have installed and configured CDC Replication, you can start using CDC Replication.

Starting the CDC Replication Engine for Netezza Technology (Linux)
When you install CDC Replication on a supported Linux® or UNIX server, you can issue a command to start it. After installing CDC Replication, start it so that you can create a datastore for this instance in Management Console.
Stopping the CDC Replication Engine for Netezza Technology (Linux)
It may be necessary to stop CDC Replication when you want to change the configuration settings, take a server or database offline for maintenance purposes, or if you want to upgrade CDC Replication. You can use the configuration tool or commands to stop CDC Replication.
Privileges required by users
Users must be granted Netezza® database privileges in order to replicate with CDC Replication.
Maintaining active TCP connections in a network environment
If your deployment of CDC Replication is in a network environment that uses a firewall, VPN gateway, or local system tools to detect idle TCP connections, it may be necessary to configure the product to prevent these connections from being closed during periods of application inactivity between the source and target.
Creating custom character encodings
CDC Replication supports a wide variety of character encodings (or charsets) provided with Java and ICU (International Components for Unicode). You can add your custom encodings to CDC if it does not support your encodings.
