  • To set up and test the satellite environment, you perform a variety of different tasks. Some of these tasks you do at the DB2 control server, while others occur at the satellite. In the overview described here, the procedure is to:

    1. Prepare for a test synchronization:
      1. Set up the DB2 control server.
      2. Set up a test satellite.
      3. Run the test synchronization.
    2. Setup and test the group batches:
      1. Create an application version.
      2. Create a level.
      3. Create the batches.
      4. Have the test satellites synchronize to test the group batches.
      5. Promote the group batches to production.
