Journalizing a database

This section describes the journalization of an AS/400 IBMi database and other types of databases.

The journalization of an AS/400 IBMi database must be carried out by a DBA with the AS/400 IBMi tools. Talend Change Data Capture uses the AS/400 IBMi logs directly.

The journalization of other databases depends on the type of database and of the installation. This determines the principle used to capture the transactions in the Talend Change Data Capture journals that are available independently of the nature of the database. Nevertheless, there could be many types of journals, i.e, ones expressly for backup purposes or for more general use. This depends on the type of database.
