The Perl automation framework provides a variety of Perl-based sample scripts and library modules for automating installation, configuration, and subscription handling tasks in Linux and Windows environments.
The Perl automation framework is available in the <IBM InfoSphere CDC for solidDB installation directory>\samples\ucautomation directory.
▪include – Perl modules
▪perldoc – Perl documentation (PODs) on each library module
▪samples – Sample scripts for creating and controlling subscriptions between two solidDB® instances and between solidDB® and DB2 instances
The framework provides automation for the following:
▪Install components of Universal Cache or IBM InfoSphere CDC replication
▪Create databases of various types (solidDB®, Informix, DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows) and execute SQL statements against them
▪Create and start IBM InfoSphere CDC instances for any of the supported database types
▪Create datastores, subscriptions, and mappings and start mirroring
▪Cleanup of the environment by deleting any created components
To use the automation framework, you need
▪Linux or Windows environment, and
▪a working installation of Perl, available, for example, through www.perl.com.
For a detailed description of how to set up the environment and how to use the automation framework, see the readme file in the <IBM InfoSphere CDC for solidDB installation directory>\samples\ucautomation directory.
