Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable DB2 replication to SQLite.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live DB2 data into your SQLite instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure SQLite as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate DB2 data to SQLite. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select SQLite as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to SQLite, set the following:
- Data Source: The path to the database. You can replicate to an existing database or to a new one. The application must have permissions to access the database.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the DB2 Connection
You can configure a connection to DB2 from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your DB2 account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (DB2).
- Configure the connection properties.
Set the following properties to connect to DB2:
- Server: Set this to the name of the server running DB2.
- Port: Set this to the port the DB2 server is listening on.
- Database: Set this to the name of the DB2 database.
- User: Set this to the username of a user allowed to access the database.
- Password: Set this to the password of a user allowed to access the database.
You will also need to install the corresponding DB2 driver:
- Windows: Install the IBM Data Server Provider for .NET.
On Windows, installing the IBM Data Server Provider is sufficient, as the installation registers it in the machine.config.
- Java: Install the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC.
In the Java version, place the IBM Data Server Driver JAR in the www\WEB-INF\lib\ folder for this application.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your DB2 data to SQLite.
