About this task

To support shadow tables, you must install a supported version of the following InfoSphere CDC software components:
  • InfoSphere CDC for DB2 for LUW
  • InfoSphere CDC Access Server
  • InfoSphere CDC Management Console

Procedure

To install the required InfoSphere CDC software components:

  1. Log in to the access-server-host as cdc-user.
  2. Install the InfoSphere CDC Access Server software:
    1. Copy the installation image that you downloaded from Fix Central to a temporary directory.
    2. Decompress access-server-installation-archive-name into a temporary directory.
    3. Run the installation program. The following example shows how to run this program from the tempdir directory that contains it:
      cd tempdir
      sh ./access-server-installation-binary-name
  3. Start the Access Server processes for UNIX and Linux:
    cd /access-server-installation-dir/bin/ 
    nohup ./dmaccessserver &
  4. Log in to the cdc-server-host as cdc-user.
  5. Install a supported version of InfoSphere CDC for DB2 for LUW to install the base image of the replication engine:
    1. Copy the installation image that you downloaded from Passport Advantage® to a temporary directory.
    2. Run the installation program. The following example shows how to run this program from the tempdir directory that contains it:
      cd tempdir
      sh ./cdc-installation-binary-name
    3. At the prompt to start the configuration tool during installation, decline.
  6. If an interim fix is required, install a supported interim fix of InfoSphere CDC for DB2 for LUW:
    1. Copy the installation image that you downloaded from Fix Central to a temporary directory.
    2. Decompress the installation image into a temporary directory.
    3. Run the installation program. The following example shows how to run this program from the tempdir directory that contains it:
      cd tempdir
      sh ./cdc-installation-binary-name
    4. At the prompt to start the configuration tool during installation, decline.
  7. Log in to the management-console-workstation where you want to install InfoSphere CDC Management Console.
  8. Install the InfoSphere CDC Management Console software on a computer that is running Windows operating system:
    1. Copy the installation image that you downloaded from Fix Central to a temporary directory.
    2. Decompress the management-console-installation-archive-name file into a temporary directory.
    3. Run the management-console-installation-binary-name file from the temporary directory.
