RE: Data Propergatator

Bleddyn,

Regardless of what replication technology you decide on, chances are you 
will need to install software on both your source and target AS/400s. Not 
only does data need to be pushed from the source to the target system, the 
net changes that you are looking to move across need to be applied to the 
associated files.

DataMirror "Transformation Server" is one of these technologies and another 
reason it needs software on both the source and target systems is because 
it allows you to do the necessary filtering (down to a row and column 
level) on the source system, and any transformation that you want to do 
against those transactions on the target. By default, Transformation Server 
will bring across the data in the structure that it is in on the source 
system but if you have any requirements to transform date fields, perform 
value translations or create derived expressions, you have the ability to 
do so. Transformation Server can also move data from a Windows NT or UNIX 
environment to an AS/400 in a similar capacity if you have heterogeneous 
databases that you would like to synchronize with your DB2/400 files.

We distribute DataMirror's technology in over 33 countries and our European 
headquarters is based out of the UK. Please check out our web site at 
http://www.datamirror.com for international address or e-mail me for 
additional information.

Good luck,

Hi we are looking at a solution where we have two AS/400's a primary and 
secondary if I want to copy information as its received on the primary to 
the secondary backup would data propergator do the job? I know there is 
Mimix but is that a lot more expensive? The machines would be a low end S 
class server and a model 170 probably in P10 group. Would I need DP on 
both?

Thanks Bleddyn
