IIDR 11.3.3.2 CDC New Install & Upgrade

Product Documentation


Abstract

This replaces the IBM Data Replication Community Wiki IIDR 11.3.3.2 CDC New Install & Upgrade page.

Content

As of IIDR 11.3.3.2 Build 19 there is a new and simplified CDC install and upgrade for all Linux, Unix, and Windows (LUW) agents.

For a fresh (new) install, you can download and install the latest build from Fix Central directly without first having to install the base code.  If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as IIDR 10.2.1, you first need to upgrade to the IIDR 11.3.3 base from Passport Advantage (PPA), and then you would upgrade to the latest 11.3.3.x build from Fix Central.

Previously there were install images for each database supported on each platform as well as other images for DataStage etc   There is now a single install per platform tremendously reducing the number of install images on PPA and Fix Central from over 140 builds to six.  This will simplify the process of finding and downloading the latest build image.  The following platform builds are available:

  • AIX-Power
  • Linux-Power
  • Linux-s390
  • Linux-x86
  • Solaris-Sparc
  • Windows-x86

The same image is run for either a fresh (new) install of the latest build image, or to upgrade to the latest build image.  The following screen is now presented when you run the installer:

Next you will select the datastore type you wish to install:

So for example, if you wish to replicate to Hadoop using WebHDFS, you would select the highlighted datastore type.

Note, the above panel is not displayed on an upgrade as it will automatically detect which datastore is already installed.

In the next dialog presented, you need to select the offering that your company purchased and have entitlement for.

Continuing with the example from above where I want to replicate into Hadoop, that would imply that you would have

purchased the node based Data Replication for Apache Hadoop license which I show highlighted in the following dialog:

Note, the above panel is not displayed on an upgrade as the appropriate license would already be installed on your server.

The rest of the install presents the familiar dialogs for installation folder, agree to license etc.

The installation directory has changed from:

    <ProgramsFolder>\IBM\InfoSphere $PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME$\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME
    /opt/IBM/InfoSphere$PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME_NOSPACES$/ReplicationEngineforDATABASE-NOSPACE-NAME

To:

    <ProgramsFolder>\IBM\InfoSphere Data Replication\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME
    /opt/IBM/InfoSphereDataReplication/ReplicationEngineforDATABASE-NOSPACE-NAME

For the Windows platform, the user data and shortcut locations have changed as well.

Default User Data Location changed from:

    <ProgramData>\IBM\InfoSphere $PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME$\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME

To:

    <ProgramData>\IBM\InfoSphere Data Replication\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME

Default Shortcuts Directory changed from:

    <All Users Programs Menu>\IBM InfoSphere $GA_PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME$\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME

To:

    <All Users Programs Menu>\IBM InfoSphere Data Replication\Replication Engine for DATABASE-NAME
