SQL Server CDC Prerequisites

SQL Server CDC Prerequisites

PowerExchange CDC has the following SQL Server prerequisites:
  • PowerExchange CDC requires an edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or later that supports transactional replication. You must configure and enable transactional replication on the source system to do CDC.
  • PowerExchange uses SQL Server 2008 Server Management Objects (SMO) to manage SQL Server publications. SMO is a .NET Framework object model that applications can use to manage and administer SQL Server objects and services. You must install SQL Server 2008 SMO and some related packages before you create or edit capture registrations. For your convenience, PowerExchange provides the installation packages for these SQL Server objects and packages under the
    PowerExchange_base_installation_directory
    \packages\mssqlInstalls/2008 directory.
  • The Microsoft SQL Server Agent and Log Reader Agent must be running on the Windows machine from which change data is extracted. Usually, the SQL Server Agent remains running after it is initially started. For more information, see your SQL Server documentation.
  • Each source table in the distribution database must have a primary key.
  • If the PowerExchange Navigator is installed on a Windows machine than is different from the one where the Microsoft SQL Server source runs, you must install the SQL Server client components on the PowerExchange Navigator machine.
  • Ensure that the PowerExchange Listener runs on the Windows system that contains the Microsoft SQL Server source or on another Windows system. The PowerExchange Listener cannot run on a Linux or UNIX system.
  • If you use the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, you can run it on the system where the PowerExchange Listener runs or on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system for which you configure remote logging.
