Description
Copy link to section
Use Data Replication to integrate and synchronize data. Data Replication provides near-real-time data delivery with low impact to
sources.
With Data Replication, you can:
Improve business insight
Move data in near real time to the environment where you perform analytics or event processing
so you can quickly react to changes and critical business events.
Ensure business continuity
Synchronize data stores to support continuous operations in the event of planned and unplanned
outages.
Data Replication is part of Cloud Pak for Data as a Service
and provides the data replication capabilities of the data fabric architecture.
To set up Data Replication, you create a shared project and then
define your connections to sources and targets. Build replication mappings by selecting the schemas
and tables that you want to replicate.
When the mappings are done, you can start replicating data. The data is first synchronized
between the source and target data store and then continuously updated automatically whenever
changes are detected to the source tables. The changes are delivered in near-real-time to the target
data store. Data Replication will run continuously unless you pause or
stop it.
