Improved Administration

IBM Replication provides a higher level of integration with DB2 on your client administration platforms.

• A lower cost of administration:

  • Administration for IBM Replication is installed with the DB2 Universal Database on the Windows NT, Windows 95, and OS/2 platforms and is handled through the Control Center, the administration tool of the DB2 Universal Database.

  • Administration though the Control Center provides features for power users to define multiple registration, now known as "defining replication sources," or multiple subscriptions, in a single user action.

• Replication administration now supports both "push" and "pull" configurations; these configurations allow the Apply program to push data to or pull data from the target table:

  • Push configurations are used for low latency requirements

  • Pull configurations provide better performance

  • Push and pull configurations enable update-anywhere and mobile replication

• IBM Replication administration now supports view replication sources and subscriptions:

  • You can define an n-way join view as a replication source in a single action.

  • You can subscribe to an n-way join replication source as a single action.

• The Control Center provides flexible customization of the replication environment for your site's requirements.
