Product Overview

CA LogCompress for DB2 was designed to compress DB2 archive logs, optimizing storage and potentially improving backup/restore performance. The architecture likely involved components for reading DB2 archive logs, performing compression/decompression, and managing storage. As CA LogCompress is no longer supported, a migration to a supported solution is necessary.

Consider alternatives such as IBM Db2 Utilities Suite, BMC AMI Log Master for Db2, and Precisely Ironstream. These alternatives should be evaluated based on their architectural compatibility with existing DB2 environments. Key considerations include integration with existing backup and recovery processes, support for required compression algorithms, and scalability to handle growing log volumes.

The chosen solution should provide robust monitoring and logging capabilities to ensure operational visibility. A well-defined migration plan is crucial to minimize disruption and ensure data integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CA LogCompress for DB2?

CA LogCompress for DB2 is a utility designed to compress DB2 archive logs, reducing storage space and potentially improving backup and restore times.

What are the main functions of CA LogCompress?

The primary function is to compress DB2 archive logs. This involves reading the logs, applying a compression algorithm, and storing the compressed data. Decompression is performed when the logs need to be accessed for recovery or analysis.

What kind of compression ratio can I expect?

While specific compression ratios depend on the data within the logs, CA LogCompress generally aims to reduce the size of archive logs significantly, often achieving compression ratios of 50% or higher.
