Sybase Replication supports replication of transactional data from a mainframe-based DB2 server. This support is available as add-on options, which you can purchase separately. The various options are:
Sybase Replication Agent for DB2 UDB for OS/390 – supports replication of transactional data from DB2 UDB running on a mainframe system to target databases.
Mainframe Connect™ with DirectConnect for z/OS – supports replication of data to a mainframe system. This option enables client applications and Replication Server to access data stored in mainframe database management systems (DBMSs), file systems, and applications. In addition, Mainframe Connect allows you to create custom mainframe applications that provide access to data stored on mainframe-based DB2 server.
Sybase Replication includes basic, simple-to-configure
support for replicating to mainframe DB2 through DirectConnect.
The Mainframe Connect option is an alternative that provides enhanced
performance and functionality while replicating to mainframe DB2.
You must purchase the Mainframe Connect option separately.
