(1) Using the replication facility

To use the replication facility, you need HiRDB Datareplicator and HiRDB Dataextractor. For details about how to set up an environment for the replication facility, see 8.1 Linking to the replication facility.

(2) Linking to OLTP

For details about the environment setup procedure to link your HiRDB to OLTP, see 8.2 Linking with an OLTP system.

(3) Using the system switchover facility

To use the system switchover facility, cluster software is required. The specific cluster software to be used depends on the platform. For details about cluster software and the system switchover facility, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 System Operation Guide.

(4) Using the Directory Server linkage facility

HiRDB can be linked to the following directory servers:

For details about the environment setup procedure for the Hitachi Directory Server linkage facility, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 System Operation Guide.

(5) Using the inner replica facility

To use the inner replica facility, HiRDB Staticizer Option is required. For details about the environment setup procedure, see 8.3 Linking to the inner replica facility.

(6) Using the HiRDB External Data Access facility

HiRDB External Data Access is required in order to use the HiRDB External Data Access facility. For details about the environment setup procedure for the HiRDB External Data Access facility, see 8.4 Linking to the HiRDB External Data Access facility.

(7) Using Real Time SAN Replication (disaster recovery)

To use Real Time SAN Replication with the log-only synchronous method, HiRDB Disaster Recovery Light Edition is required.

For details about Real Time SAN Replication, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 Disaster Recovery System Configuration and Operation Guide.

(8) Using the distributed database facility

To use the distributed database facility, you need DF/UX.

For details about how to set up the environment for the distributed database facility, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 System Operation Guide.

(9) When linking to JP1

You can manage HiRDB events as JP1 events by linking your system to JP1. When JP1 is linked, you can achieve centralized management of system events and use events to start jobs automatically. For details about linkage with JP1, see 8.5 Linking to JP1.
