Customizing the dbmover Configuration File for Db2 CDC

In the dbmover configuration file, add statements for Db2 CDC on Linux, UNIX, or Windows.

You must include the following statements for Db2 CDC:

CAPT_PATH statement: Path to the local directory on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that contains the control files for CDC.
These files are: the CCT file for capture registrations, the CDEP file for application names that are used for ODBC extractions, and the CDCT file for the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
CAPT_XTRA statement: Path to the local directory on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that stores extraction maps for CDC.
UDB CAPI_CONNECTION statement: A named set of parameters that the Consumer API (CAPI) uses to connect to the change stream and to control CDC processing for Db2 sources.
Add this statement to the dbmover.cfg file on the system where Db2 capture registrations reside. This location corresponds to the
Location
node that you specify when defining a registration group. Usually, this location is where the source database resides.

If you plan to use continuous extraction mode, you must also include the following statement:

CAPX CAPI_CONNECTION statement: A named set of parameters that the CAPI uses for continuous extraction of change data from PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows log files.

Also, Informatica recommends including the LOGPATH and TRACING statements to make finding messages easier. The LOGPATH statement defines a directory specifically for PowerExchange message log files, and the TRACING statement enables PowerExchange to create an alternative set of message log files for each PowerExchange process.
