A replication pipeline is a collection of mappings that define the relationship between source and target data. Each project can contain one or more replication pipelines.
You can configure the properties of each replication pipeline to determine how data is transferred. When a replication pipeline is started, it can either move source data to a target database in bulk or initiate data capture and replication processes. This flexibility allows for efficient data management and integration across different systems
You can create three types of replication pipelines.
- Continuous replication: Provides real-time data replication by continuously capturing data from supported non-mainframe (z/OS) sources and applying it to supported targets. Once initiated, replication continues until manually stopped.
- Mainframe replication: Mainframe replication is designed specifically for mainframe (z/OS) sources that are not covered by continuous replication. It processes and supports large sets of mainframe data within your enterprise.
- Scheduled replication: Runs on time intervals. At each scheduled run, the available data is captured from the source and applied to the target. Then, you can either stop future runs or schedule another run.
Note: You must have the Replication Designer role to configure and manage replication pipelines. A workspace manager can assign the role from the Manage User page.
