Configuring IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture software for shadow tables

Configuring InfoSphere® CDC consists of creating and setting up InfoSphere CDC objects that are required to set up replication.

To configure InfoSphere CDC software for shadow tables:

1. Log in to the access-server-host as cdc-user.
2. Create the access-server-user user with the following properties:
   • The role is SYSADMIN.
   • The user is a manager.
   • The password does not change at first login.
   • The password never expires.
   To create access-server-user, issue the dmcreateuser command as follows:

   cd access-server-installation-dir/bin
   ./dmcreateuser access-server-user
        access-server-user-fullname
        access-server-user-desc
        access-server-user-password
        SYSADMIN TRUE FALSE TRUE

   For more information about the parameters, see access-server-user
3. Set up the InfoSphere CDC instance for shadow tables. For more information, see Setting up the InfoSphere CDC instance for shadow tables.
4. Set up a datastore in one of the following ways:
   • Setting up the datastore for shadow tables with IBM InfoSphere CDC Management Console
