Product Overview

IBM Data Gate provides near real-time data synchronization between Db2 for z/OS and cloud-based data warehouses. The architecture consists of the Data Gate server on z/OS, which captures changes from Db2 logs, and the Data Gate client, which applies these changes to the target data warehouse. Communication between components uses TCP/IP.

Data Gate exposes REST APIs for monitoring and management. Key configuration parameters include source Db2 connection details, target data warehouse connection details, and the tables to be replicated. 509 certificates, along with role-based access control (RBAC).

Data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL. data using Iceberg open data format. Competing products include solutions from vendors like Attunity and Informatica.

Data Gate's advantage is its optimized integration with Db2 for z/OS, offering better performance and simplified configuration compared to generic data replication tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IBM Data Gate and what problem does it solve?

IBM Data Gate synchronizes data between Db2 for z/OS and cloud-based data warehouses like IBM Db2 Warehouse SaaS and IBM watsonx.data. It provides near real-time data replication with minimal latency, ensuring consistent data across environments.

What data sources and targets are supported by IBM Data Gate?

IBM Data Gate supports Db2 for z/OS as the primary source. It can replicate data to IBM Db2 Warehouse SaaS, IBM Cloud Pak for Data, and IBM watsonx.data (using Iceberg open data format).

How does IBM Data Gate ensure data consistency between source and target systems?

Data Gate uses a combination of change data capture (CDC) and SQL replication techniques to ensure data consistency. It captures changes made to Db2 for z/OS tables and applies those changes to the target data warehouse in near real-time.

How does IBM Data Gate protect data during replication?

IBM Data Gate uses a secure connection between the z/OS environment and the target cloud environment. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access control is managed through role-based access control (RBAC).
