The AWS Data Replication for iSeries with Precisely AMI comes with a pre-installed software stack that enables quick data replication from IBM Db2 for i to AWS RDS targets.
The replication services must be initialized one time after first launching the AMI and before you can define and run any replication pipelines. Restarts of the AMI do not require the initialization to be done again.
- First time the IBMi EC2 instance is launched, open this file:
C:\PreciselyConnect\ConnectCDCV58\kernel\wrapper.conf
- Update the configuration property.
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dhost.name="EC2-MACHINE-NAME"
where
EC2-MACHINE-NAME
will be replaced by the EC2 hostname. The hostname can be obtained by running hostname from the command line. - Restart the
Connect CDC Listener V5.8
service.
Note: When opening the Connect CDC Director, you might notice a warning dialog with this message.
To avoid seeing this warning, create the folder "logs" under the C:\PreciselyConnect
folder.
