CAPT_PATH Statement

CAPT_PATH Statement

The CAPT_PATH statement specifies the path to a directory on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that contains the control files for CDC.
Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Db2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL sources on Linux, UNIX, or Windows, and if you use remote logging, data sources on IBM i (i5/OS) or z/OS
CAPT_XTRA
Yes for CDC sources on Linux, UNIX, and Windows 
CAPT_PATH=
path
For the
path
 variable, enter the path to the local directory that contains the following control files for CDC:
  • CCT file, which contains capture registrations.
  • CDEP file, which contains application names for any PowerCenter extractions that use ODBC connections.
  • CDCT file, which contains information about PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows log files.
This directory can be one that you created specifically for these files or another directory.
Informatica recommends that you use a unique directory name to separate these CDC objects from the PowerExchange code. This practice makes migrating to a another PowerExchange version easier.
Default is the PowerExchange installation directory.
  • PowerExchange C-ISAM control files, such as the CCT, CDEP, and CDCT files, must be stored on local disk. Do not locate these files in SAN or NAS storage.
  • To provide a path to the directory that contains extraction maps, use the CAPT_XTRA statement.
