Setting up the datastore for shadow tables with IBM InfoSphere CDC Management Console

Setting up the datastore for shadow tables with the IBM® InfoSphere® CDC Management Console consists of creating one datastore for the replication with InfoSphere CDC and configuring a datastore connection. This datastore represents the data files that are required for data replication. The datastore connection provides access to the InfoSphere CDC instance from the access server for its configuration, monitoring, and operational control.
