Getting started with Data Replication
With Data Replication, you can integrate and synchronize data across multiple data stores by delivering and reacting to database changes in real-time. By using you the Data Replication service, you get access to continuously available and up-to-date data.
To set up Data Replication in IBM Software Hub, you create a shared project and then define your connections to source and target data stores. Build replication mappings by selecting the schemas and tables that you want to replicate.
When the mappings are done, you can start the replicating data. The data is first synchronized between the source and target data stores and then continuously updated automatically whenever changes are detected to the source tables. The changes are delivered in near-real-time to the target data store. Data Replication will run continuously unless you pause or stop it.
