Replication Center Tool

The DB2 Replication Center is a user interface tool that you can use to set up and administer your replication environment and to run the Capture, Apply, and Replication Alert Monitor programs. You can use the Replication Center to:

• Create replication control tables.

• Register replication sources.

• Create subscription sets and add subscription-set members to the set.

• Operate the Capture program.

• Operate the Apply program.

• Monitor the replication process.

• Perform basic troubleshooting for replication.

The Replication Center also has a launchpad that allows you to perform the basic functions needed to set up a DB2 replication environment. The launchpad shows you graphically how the different steps are related to one another.

You can use the Replication Center to set up DB2-to-DB2 replication environments or replication between DB2 and non-DB2 relational databases. The DB2 Replication Center, see Figure 2.7, is part of the DB2 Control Center set of tools. See the online help for detailed task information for the Replication Center.
