Db2 for i as Target

Fivetran HVR supports integrating changes into Db2 for i database. This section describes the configuration requirements for integrating changes (using Integrate and refresh) into Db2 for i location. For the list of supported Db2 for i versions, into which HVR can integrate changes, see Integrate changes into location in Capabilities.

Pre-Requisites

• The default library (current_schema) of the HVR database User must exist.
• Journaling must be enabled for the default library (current_schema), so that the table(s) created in it are automatically journaled.

Grants for Integrate and Refresh

This section lists the grants required for integrating changes into Db2 for i database.

• To read and change the replicated tables, the HVR database User must be granted the following privilege:

  grant select, insert, update, delete on tbl to hvruser;
  

  Alternatively, you can run the following command from AS/400 console:

  GRTOBJAUT OBJ(HVR/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*FILE) USER(HVRUSER) AUT(*CHANGE)
  

• To use the default library (current_schema) and to create and drop HVR state tables in it, the HVR database User must be granted the following privilege:

  grant createin, dropin, usage on schema current_schema to hvruser;
  

  Alternatively, you can run the following command from AS/400 console:

  GRTOBJAUT OBJ(HVR) OBJTYPE(*CURLIB) USER(HVRUSER) AUT(*CHANGE)
  

• The HVR database User should have permissions to read the following system catalogs:

  • qsys2.systables
  • qsys2.syscolumns
  • qsys2.systypes
  • qsys2.syscst
  • qsys2.syscstcol
  • qsys2.sysindexes
  • qsys2.syskeys
  • sysibm.sysdummy1
  • sysibm.sqlstatistics

  According to IBM documentation, the tables and views in the catalogs are shipped with the select privilege to PUBLIC. This privilege may be revoked and the select privilege granted to individual users. For example, to grant the select privilege on table columns in qsys2.syscolumns schema, use the following statement:

  grant select on qsys2.syscolumns to hvruser;
