PowerExchange for DB2 CDC uses the DB2 Instrumentation Facility Interface (IFI) to capture change data from DB2 logs. The DB2 ECCR runs in a separate address space and issues IFI 306 calls to DB2 to retrieve the changes. DB2 reads the DB2 logs and passes the data to the DB2 ECCR. The DB2 ECCR passes the change data to the PowerExchange Logger for recording.
A single DB2 ECCR can process change data for all DB2 subsystems in a DB2 data-sharing group.
