Using Data Gate on Cloud

The following information describes common tasks that an administrator performs to maintain a Data Gate on Cloud instance.

Opening the Data Gate on Cloud user interface
The user interface (UI) of your Data Gate on Cloud instance is running on the OpenShift® cluster, inside a private subnet on AWS. That means that the UI is not directly accessible from the public internet. To access it from a local machine, you must create a proxy virtual machine first.
Updating a source definition for Data Gate on Cloud
You must connect to a data source to give Data Gate on Cloud access to the original data in Db2® for z/OS®. You define a data source when you create (provision) an instance for the first time. This data source can be changed at a later time.
Monitoring a Data Gate on Cloud instance
The dashboard is displayed after the creation of an instance has finished. You can also access the dashboard from the OpenShift main menu. The dashboard gives you various pieces of information about your Data Gate on Cloud instance, such as the system availability, the table status, the replication latency, and throughput. The dashboard also allows you to add, load, and remove tables or to enable or disable synchronization. The dashboard is refreshed every minute.
Adding tables to Data Gate on Cloud
From the dashboard, you can always add tables to your configured Db2 Data Gate instances.
Enabling or disabling synchronization for Data Gate on Cloud
The tables list on the dashboard of your Data Gate on Cloud instance allows you to add or remove tables from the synchronization process.
Loading tables in Data Gate on Cloud
You can load tables in the Data Gate on Cloud instance from the Table tab of the dashboard.
Removing tables from Data Gate on Cloud
You can remove tables from a Data Gate on Cloud instance from the Table tab on the dashboard.
Removing a Data Gate on Cloud instance
Delete a Data Gate on Cloud instance that you no longer need, or delete an instance to create a new instance with the same name.
Data Gate on Cloud stored procedures
The Data Gate on Cloud stored procedures provide the functionality for all interaction with Db2 for z/OS. Stored procedures are executed when you run Data Gate on Cloud functions from the OpenShift user interface. However, you can also run the stored procedures standalone from z/OS or embed them in custom applications.
