DB2 Satellite Edition

DB2 Universal Database Satellite Edition (DB2 Satellite Edition) brings the power of DB2 Universal Database to environments containing occasionally connected clients. It is supported on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT operating systems.

With DB2 Satellite Edition, you can replicate data between DB2 servers and some non-IBM source servers (Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft), and you gain the following benefits:

• Centralized group administration and problem determination

• Ability to easily support thousands of occasionally connected clients

• Capture and Apply programs that start and stop automatically, as required

Two new options let you run the Capture and Apply programs in batch mode:

Capture program autostop option

You can run the Capture program in batch mode by using the new AUTOSTOP invocation parameter. The Capture program will run until it captures all of the changes from the log and then it terminates.

Apply program copyonce option

You can run the Apply program in batch mode by using the new COPYONCE invocation parameter. The Apply program will try running all eligible subscription sets once and then it terminates.
