Re: DPROP: RIP (second call)

Thanks Paul but we haven't had any issues getting help and support from
Rocket. And pretty responsive with their guidance.

Maybe you're talking of experiences from way back, we're pretty happy with
Rocket and iCluster.

I'd avoid that one like the plague. IBM used to own that product, and
unloaded it on Rocket.

For whatever reason, IBM is under some sort of contract to support the
product, and they really do a poor job of problem resolution.

One of my clients has continuing issues with replication and data extract
links going into a coma, and it takes IBM/Rocket days and even weeks to
respond. When they do, it's usually an answer like "Bounce the subsystems
on
the iSeries, and bounce the server doing the extracts."

For real-time replication to a DR machine, you should use software like
iTera Echo2 or competitive offerings. Otherwise your backup machine will
not actually serve for DR purposes

Hello sages

We use IBM's Data Propagator (a.k.a DPROP) to replicate some 100 table

from

DB2/400 to DB2 LUW (on a Windows machine) and about 10 tables the other
way.

Since DPROP has reached it's end-of-support-date
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/printableversion.wss?
docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/2/899/ENUSLP15-0192/index.html

I need to find a good replacement replicating tool.

and if a new tool is in order, I would like to also use it for a DR
replication
of IBM i Prod machine to a stand by i machine (actually the previous Prod
machine)

Can you furnish me with some pointers?

Thanks
Gad
