DBMOVER Configuration File Statements

The DBMOVER configuration file contains the following new and changed statements:

HANA CAPI_CONNECTION: New
. Connects to an SAP HANA source for CDC processing. Syntax is:
CAPI_CONNECTION=(NAME=capi_connection_name [,DLLTRACE=trace_id] ,TYPE=(HANA ,SERVER=[server_name|ip_address]:port ,DATABASE=database_name [,BUFFERSIZE=bytes] [,FETCHSIZE=records] [,LOGCLEAR=days] [,ONDATATRUNC=[WARN|FAIL]] [,SSL=[Y|N]] [,TIMEOUT=milliseconds] [,VMOPTS=options] [,VMOPTSDEL=delimiter_character]) )
IBMI_USE_DB2_SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAMES: New. Controls whether to use Db2 system column names when performing PowerExchange database row tests and PowerExchange CDC registrations.

This statement pertains to PowerExchange Navigator personal metadata, CDC database row tests, and PowerExchange CDC registrations in the PowerExchange Navigator and the DTLUCBRG utility. It also pertains to PowerCenter Db2 for i, CDC source and target imports, and PowerCenter CDC workflows.

Valid values are:

Y
. Use Db2 system column names. When you specify Y, the system column name is displayed for CDC row tests and PowerExchange capture registrations in the PowerExchange Navigator and DTLUCBRG utility.
N
. Use long column names. Do not use Db2 system column names.

Default is N.
OPENPOLL=number: New. Adjusts the wait time when the PowerExchange Listener encounters tape mount delays on z/OS. Use this statement to relieve constraints on other workflows when the availability of tape data sets or devices cannot be guaranteed.

PowerExchange uses this value in conjunction with the POLLTIME value to calculate a time limit that determines how long the PowerExchange Listener waits for an open request on a tape data set before canceling the request and ending the task.

The value represents the number of passes through the PowerExchange Listener polling loop. To calculate the time limit, the OPENPOLL value is multiplied by the POLLTIME value. For example, if you set OPENPOLL to 60 and POLLTIME to 1000 milliseconds, the time limit is approximately 60000 milliseconds, or 1 minute.

The range for the OPENPOLL value is 5 through 10000.

Default is 0, which causes no requests to be canceled.
SVCNODE: Changed. The SVCNODE statement specifies the TCP/IP port on which a PowerExchange process listens for commands. You can now include up to 30 SVCNODE statements in a DBMOVER configuration file.
TEMP_FILE_DIRECTORY: New. Specifies an alternate location for the temporary files that PowerExchange creates if the TMP or TMPDIR environment variables on Windows, UNIX, or Linux are not specified. Valid values are a path and directory name on the server where the dbmover.cfg file resides.
UPDATE_USER_ACTIVITY = {Y| N }: New. Controls whether the LAST-ACCESS date in RACF is updated when a user connects to a PowerExchange Listener on z/OS. For the LAST-ACCESS dates to be updated, you must configure the SECURITY=(2,x) and UPDATE_USER_ACTIVITY=Y statements in the DBMOVER configuration file.

Valid values are:

Y
. Update the LAST-ACCESS date in the RACF database when a connection is made to a PowerExchange Listener on z/OS. You can view the LAST-ACCESS date in RACF LISTUSER output.
N
. Do not update the LAST-ACCESS date in RACF for PowerExchange Listener connections.

Default is N.
