Required Db2 and z/OS settings

The CDC Replication Engine for Db2® for z/OS® Remote Source interacts with the database remotely through a JDBC connection, reads the Db2 log through either a started task or an external stored procedure, and might interact with z/OS through SSH depending on the configuration option that you choose.

The CDC Replication user ID might be granted different levels of privileges depending on which parts of the installation should be automatic or manually configured by an administrator.
