RE: Replication Opinions

Exactly. If the file is small and updates aren't that frequent why go through the rigmarole of journaling, triggers or data queues. Just blow the file over to the remote system occasionally. *UPDADD works if someone is in the file instead of *REPLACE which requires a lock on the file. Course the file would also have to have keys and no record locks on the remote system. That's why it would work 'in some conditions'.

That solution would be equivalent to replacing the destination file every time.

*UPDADD doesn't "update" changed records only...it updates any
existing record in the destination from the source.

*RPLADD would have been a better name :)

Michael,

There is a software package called Mimix that does that automatically but it could be overkill for just one file.

Maybe a repeated CPYF with *UPDADD run on the remote system from a DDM file would work in some conditions.

Have a file that I need to replicate in near real time to another
system. What techniques do folks use? I'm thinking of triggers on the
from file, remote SQL connect, ACD as appropriate. I guess journaling
would be an option too. Opinions welcome. Thanks...
