DB2 Replication Guide and Reference
Data replication consists of two basic processes:
- Capturing changed data from a table or view in a source
database
- Copying (or "applying") changed data from a source table
to one or more target tables in the same or different databases
The IBM replication solution lets you determine how the changed data is to
be captured and how (and under what conditions) this data is to be copied to
the targets. Replication administration is the process of
creating and managing these two basic processes. Replication
administration includes:
- Defining a table, database, or view as a source table for change capture
and replication
- Creating a replication target table
- Defining the conditions under which the data from the defined source is
copied to the defined target

replication tools that function together in a single solution. These
tools include:
