Re: cross platform replication

Hello Jim, 

Depending on the complexity of your needs, you might want to take a look 
at a tool such as our RPG2SQL Integrator.

We have customers who are regularly updating Oracle databases from RPG 
programs. 

With RPG2SQL you could easily use triggers or other RPG logic to replicate 
data updates as needed to an Oracle database server.

You could also use Java and JDBC triggers as well if you like programming 
in Java. 

Hope this helps.

subject: cross platform replication

We've been talking about buying Oracle's DB/2 AS/400 Gateway product.  In
considering our application needs we've come to realize that it isn't 
going
to do what we want because it's going the wrong way.

We need to replicate data where the AS/400 is the source system.  The
gateway allows you to create an Oracle view to an AS/400 table.  We're
dealing with large AS/400 tables, updated frequently.  On the Oracle side
we'd  have to pull all the data through the view instead of accepting
periodic updates/changes.

Is anyone working with replication from an AS/400 to an Oracle database? I
know IBM has an incredibly expensive solution, and I can think of a few
complicated ways to roll my own.
