Primary Database Connectivity

Replication Agent connects to primary data servers using a JDBC™ driver that implements the JDBC 3.0 standard.

You must install the correct connectivity driver for your primary database environment before installing Replication Agent. The drivers that are required and supported by Replication Agent are listed in the Replication Server Options 15.7.1 Release Bulletin.

In general, JDBC drivers are available with client/server products for your database server. Contact your Database Administrator if you are not sure that the correct driver is installed.

Note: Only one version of a vendor's JDBC driver should be in the CLASSPATH. If more than one version is in the CLASSPATH, Replication Agent will have problems connecting to the primary database.

Setting Up Connectivity to a DB2 UDB Server
Replication Agent for IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) must be installed on the same UNIX or Microsoft Windows host as the primary UDB server or the UDB Administration Client. Replication Agent requires access to UDB JDBC drivers and UDB API libraries.
Setting Up Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Drivers
JDBC drivers for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases are provided by the database vendors. If the JDBC driver for your database is not already installed, obtain the appropriate driver from the vendor Web site.
