The solidDB^® Transaction Log Reader provides an interface that you can use to read log records from the solidDB^® transaction log transaction by transaction. Using the Log Reader interface, you can, for example, write an application that listens to and displays log traffic in the solidDB^® server.

The solidDB^® Universal Cache functionality uses the Log Reader interface: IBM InfoSphere CDC replication engine accesses the solidDB^® transaction log to capture data changes and transmits these changes to the backend replication engine, which copies the changes to the backend database.
