Customers often need to replicate data from one DB2 z/OS subsystem to another DB2 system or RDBMS. They may want to update a QA environment with a copy of production data, or replicate or propagate data changes to a data warehouse. Because replication frequently is done at an application or object level, granularity and flexibility in the extract process is important. Solutions aimed at capturing all transactions and replicating them to another site for disaster recovery failover do not address this challenge. BMC Software offers several techniques to help replicate data from a DB2 z/OS source to a target system (usually also a DB2 z/OS system, but not always).
