Accessing and Pulling Container Images

Prerequisites

Before beginning this task:

  1. Ensure you have an active IBMid account linked to your software licenses

Procedure

Step 1: Obtain your registry entitlement key

To download the certified container images from the secure IBM Entitled Registry, you must retrieve your unique entitlement key.

  1. Navigate to the IBM Container Software Library.
  2. Log in with your IBMid and password credentials.
  3. Locate your account entitlement key on the dashboard and click Copy key.
  4. Store this key in a secure location, as you will use it as your registry pull password.

Step 2: Download the Helm charts

You can retrieve the certified Helm chart packages directly from the IBM Helm repository or via the command-line interface.

Method A: Retrieving charts from GitHub (Graphical Download)

  1. Open the IBM GitHub Helm Repository in your web browser.

  2. Download the following required packages to your local control workstation:

    • cdc-replication-<version>.tgz: Required to deploy the replication engine.
    • cdc-access-server-<version>.tgz: Required to deploy the Access Server administration component.

    Note: <version> is a placeholder for the latest semantic version of the chart (for example, 12.0.24). Always plan your deployments around the latest available stable patch release.

Method B: Retrieving charts using the Helm CLI

  1. Add the official IBM repository to your local Helm CLI client:

    helm repo add ibm-helm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/charts/master/repo/ibm-helm

  2. Search and verify the available chart releases:

    helm search repo ibm-helm/cdc-replication --versions
helm search repo ibm-helm/cdc-access-server --versions

Step 3: Extract sample files and documentation

All configuration templates, default environment parameters, and localized quickstart guides are bundled directly inside the downloaded chart package. Run the following command on your control workstation to extract these resources:

tar -xzf cdc-replication-<version>.tgz cdc-replication/samples/ cdc-replication/docs/
