Specifying the D_MIRROR user profile

CDC Replication automatically creates a user profile (D_MIRROR) during installation which it uses to supervise replication operations.

The password for this user profile is intentionally set to *NONE, and should not be changed. The D_MIRROR user profile should be reserved for CDC Replication. Do not use this profile to log on or for other purposes.

If you are installing the CDC Replication Engine for Db2® for i to replicate data from a remote journal, then you must grant the D_MIRROR user profile enough object authority to access objects on the CDC Replication Data Origin Server.

If the D_MIRROR user profile already exists from a previous installation with a different version of CDC Replication, you can either leave the user profile unchanged and re-configure the profile for CDC Replication version 11.4, or cancel the installation or upgrade in order to verify whether or not the profile is configured properly. You can verify whether or not the user profile is configured properly by issuing the following command:

DSPUSRPRF USRPRF(D_MIRROR)

Verify that the following parameters are set to the indicated values:

• Special authority: *JOBCTL
• Password is *NONE: *YES
• Password expiration: *NO
• Message queue: QUSRSYS/D_MIRROR
