CAPT_PATH Statement

The CAPT_PATH statement specifies the path to a directory on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system for storing CDC control files.

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

Enter the path to the directory that stores the following CDC control files:

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 control files or another directory.

To specify a Windows network path, use three leading backslashes (\\\) so that PowerExchange can parse the network path correctly. For example:

CAPT_PATH=\\\host\Shared Folders\C\CDC_SHARED\capture

Default location is the PowerExchange installation 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.

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 specify a path to the directory that contains extraction maps, use the CAPT_XTRA statement.
