As a primary data server, IBM DB2 Universal Database interacts with Replication Agent. An instance of the Replication Agent configured for the IBM DB2 Universal Database is referred to as a Replication Agent for UDB.
The Replication Agent for UDB identifies and transfers information about data-changing operations or transactions from an IBM DB2 Universal Database primary data server to a primary Replication Server.
A separate Replication Agent for UDB instance is required
for each database from which transactions are replicated.
The Replication Agent interacts with the primary Replication Server and with the RSSD of the primary Replication Server, if so configured.
Replication Agent is a Java program. Some operating
systems may require patches to support Java. Refer to the Replication
Agent Administration Guide and the Replication
Agent Release Bulletin for more information.
