Hello sages

Hello

We use IBM's Data Propagator (a.k.a DPROP) to replicate some 100 table from
DB2/400 to DB2 LUW (on a Windows machine) and about 10 tables the other way.

Since DPROP has reached it's end-of-support-date
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/printableversion.wss?
docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/2/899/ENUSLP15-0192/index.html

I need to find a good replacement replicating tool.

and if a new tool is in order, I would like to also use it for a DR
replication
of IBM i Prod machine to a stand by i machine (actually the previous Prod
machine)

Can you furnish me with some pointers?

As stated in the announce letter, IBM replacement product is Infoshere Data Replication also known as InfoSphere Change Data Capture <http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ibminfochandatacapt>. However, just like DataPropagator, I do not think it can be used for a full DR replication, as it applies only to database operations if I understand fine the documentation. It does not look to be based on SQL like DPROP is, but the name of the program objects of the tool sounds to come from the old Data Mirror product.

Thanks
Gad
