This checklist covers all the tasks required to preparing the target operating environment and configure Straight Db2/z Replication. It assumes two things: First that a Db2 subsystem exists on the target platform. Second, that the Db2/z Log Reader Capture has been configured and tested on the source platform, see that Implementation Checklist .
