How is Data Links Replication integrated with DB2 UDB database replication?
DB2 UDB Version 7 has been enhanced to replicate the meta data associated with DATALINKed columns, and the files referenced by the DATALINKed columns to a target site in an atomic, automatic and consistent manner. When an application updates the DATALINKed column of a row, and/or the non-DATALINKed columns in the same row, then the DB2 UDB Version 7 coordinated replication mechanism ensures that the changes to the non-DATALINKed columns, and the file associated with the DATALINKed are propagated to the target site, and applied within a single unit-of-work.
