Class-Level Datatype Translations to RSSD

Class-level translations identify the primary and replicate datatypes and the replicate datatypes into which data is translated.

For example, Oracle DATE should be translated to DB2 UDB replicate database TIMESTAMP.

Class-level translation is supplied for the replicate DB2 UDB for z/OS replicate database by the appropriate named connection profile:

rs_ase_to_db2 – translates Adaptive Server datatypes to DB2 UDB datatypes.
rs_udb_to_db2 – translates DB2 UDB (for UNIX and Windows) datatypes to DB2 UDB for z/OS datatypes.
rs_msss_to_db2 – translates Microsoft SQL Server datatypes to DB2 datatypes.
rs_oracle_to_db2 – translates Oracle datatypes to DB2 UDB datatypes.
rs_db2_connection_sample – creates a connection to the DB2 database. (The connection may be to ECDA.)
The connection profile provides a template for creating the Replication Server database connection for a replicate DB2 UDB for z/OS using the predefined DB2 UDB for z/OS function-string class provided with Replication Server.
