DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Licensing for replication

You do not need to purchase a copy of DB2 Connect™ to replicate data from DB2® for z/OS®, IBM® DB2 for IBM i, or IBM Informix® database servers.

Homogeneous (IBM to IBM) replication support is included with DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. However, for DB2 for z/OS and IBM DB2 for IBM i, you must purchase one of the following products that run on the host server:

IBM InfoSphere® Replication Server for z/OS
DB2 DataPropagator for iSeries®

DB2 database products do not include the technology to replicate to and from IBM Informix (IDS), therefore the DB2 database products use federation to first make IDS appear to be a DB2 database. The DB2 database product can then replicate data to and from the IDS database.

To use heterogeneous replication (non-IBM data sources) or Q replication, you must purchase IBM InfoSphere Replication Server.
