You must create a VSAM CDC connection to connect to a stream of change records that PowerExchange captured from one or more sources.
The PWX CDC Reader that is on the system where the Secure Agent runs requires the connection information to retrieve VSAM change records from PowerExchange.
You can create a VSAM CDC connection in Administrator or Data Integration, provided that your assigned user role allows this action. Use one of the following methods:
•In Administrator, click Connections on the navigation bar. On the Connections page, click New Connection and then enter connection details and properties for a connection that has the type of VSAM CDC.
•In Data Integration, when you create a mapping, click Source on the mapping canvas and then click Source in the Properties: Source panel. To create a connection, click New Connection and define a connection that has the type of VSAM CDC. Alternatively, if you previously defined a VSAM CDC connection, select it from the Connection list.
When you configure a connection, you must specify a runtime environment for the connection. The runtime environment must contain a Secure Agent with the status "Up and Running."
After you create a VSAM CDC connection, it becomes available for use within the organization and can be used in multiple mappings.
