Enabling the Db2 Data Management Console for replication

If you deployed the Db2 Data Management Console before setting up replication, you must change two settings in the OpenShift® ConfigMap to point to the replication REST server so that you can use the DMC to activate and configure replication.

Procedure

Run the following command to find the instance identifier for the database where replication was enabled:
```
oc get deployment | grep qrep
```
The result should be similar to the following example. The instance ID is the number before -qrep:
```
c-db2wh-1635813356945179-qrep               1/1     1            1           44h
c-db2wh-1635814405003209-qrep               1/1     1            1           44h
```
Run the following command to find the replication REST service name and REST internal port number:
```
oc get svc | grep qrep
```
In the following example, for the database with instance ID 2408231724451616, the REST service name is c-db2wh-2408231724451616-qrep-svc and the REST internal port number is 9444.
```
oc get svc | grep qrep
c-db2wh-2408231724451616-qrep-svc         NodePort    172.30.136.105   <none>        9444:31833/TCP,1414:32475/TCP,1415:30399/TCP
```
Open the ConfigMap in edit mode by running the following command:
```
oc edit cm instance_id
```

In the data.profile: line, add the service name and port number to the JSON. The following example shows the JSON with the values from Step 2 added:

Save the ConfigMap file and wait 10 minutes for the changes to apply.
