 InfoSphere Data Replication 

You can connect IBM® InfoSphere® Data Replication to a Db2 Warehouse on Cloud database. This capability applies to both SMP and MPP environments.



 Overview 

Ideally, when you connect IBM InfoSphere Data Replication to Db2 Warehouse on Cloud, IBM InfoSphere Data Replication is in the same IBM Cloud Data Center as Db2 Warehouse on Cloud or is colocated with Db2 Warehouse on Cloud. IBM InfoSphere Data Replication connects from a local server to the remote Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance.

When you use Db2 Warehouse on Cloud as a connection target, the performance of IBM InfoSphere Data Replication partly depends on the bandwidth of the network that separates its target engine from the Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance. Physical distance also affects performance: ideally, IBM InfoSphere Data Replication is as close as possible to the Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance. Network topology also affects performance. For example, ideally, the IBM InfoSphere Data Replication target engine runs on a VM in the same VPN (security domain) as the target instance. The fewer the network nodes (for example, firewalls or routers) to traverse, the better.





 Prerequisites 

If you intend to connect by using the SSL protocol, download and install GSKit V8. See [GSKit V8 - Install, Uninstall and Upgrade instructions](http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21631462). Click the operating system tab that applies to your client machine’s operating system.
* [Part Two: Configure communications between the HSM server and client](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-hsm-gemaltoibp-hsm-gemalto-part-two)

Communications between the HSM and client require a Network Trust Link (NTL) -- an encrypted, secure communications channel between the HSM and client. NTL uses digital certificates that the client and HSM server can use to verify each other's identity. You will run a command to get the HSM server certificate that allows the client to communicate with the HSM server. Likewise, you will generate a certificate and private key for the client and then copy them to the HSM server.
* [Part Three: Register the client with the HSM server](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-hsm-gemaltoibp-hsm-gemalto-part-three)

After the secure communications are configured, you can register the client with the HSM server and then assign the HSM partition to the client.
* [Part Four: Build a Docker image](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-hsm-gemaltoibp-hsm-gemalto-part-four)

Build an HSM Client image



This process requires [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) to be installed on the machine where the HSM client is running and that you are familiar with the process for building Docker images. It also presumes you are comfortable with using the Kubernetes CLI to administer your Kubernetes cluster.

If you are using a Kubernetes cluster on IBM Cloud and IBM Cloud HSM, both services need to be deployed from the same IBM Cloud account and on the same VLAN. If they are not on the same VLAN, then VLAN spanning must be enabled.

When the entire HSM configuration is complete, it resembles the following diagram:

Using Kafka Connect with Event Streams 

Kafka Connect is part of the Apache Kafka project and allows connecting external systems to Kafka. It consists of a runtime that can run connectors to copy data to and from a cluster. Its main characteristics are:



* Scalability: It can easily scale from a single worker to many.
* Reliability: It automatically manages offsets and the lifecycle of connectors.
* Extensibility: The community built connectors for most popular systems. IBM has connectors for [MQ](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/EventStreams?topic=EventStreams-mq_connector) and [Cloud Object Storage](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/EventStreams?topic=EventStreams-cos_connector).



You can use Kafka Connect with Event Streams and can run the workers inside or outside IBM Cloud®.

Kafka Connect can run in either stand-alone or distributed mode. Stand-alone mode is intended for testing and temporary connections between systems. Distributed mode is more appropriate for production use. The configuration required to use Event Streams with these two modes is slightly different.



 Stand-alone worker configuration 

The stand-alone worker does not use any internal topics. Instead, it uses a file for storing offset information.

You must provide the bootstrap servers and SASL credentials information in the worker properties file that you supply when you start a Kafka Connect stand-alone worker. The following example lists the properties that you must provide in your properties file:

bootstrap.servers=BOOTSTRAP_ENDPOINTS
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="USER" password="PASSWORD";
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
ssl.protocol=TLSv1.2
ssl.enabled.protocols=TLSv1.2
ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm=HTTPS
For more information about creating and managing API keys, see: [Managing user API keys](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userapikey).





 IBMid/password 

The IBMid/password can be used to log in to the console and can also be used within the application in the same ways that a user ID/password is allowed. The exception occurs when the IBMid is federated because a redirection to your organization’s login page cannot be done. However, the recommended method for an application to establish a connection to the database service instance is to use an access token.







 Supported interfaces 

The following database client interfaces are supported:



* [ODBC](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Db2onCloud?topic=Db2onCloud-iamodbc-clpplus)
* [CLP](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Db2onCloud?topic=Db2onCloud-iamodbc-clpplus)
* [CLPPLUS](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Db2onCloud?topic=Db2onCloud-iamodbc-clpplus)
* [JDBC](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Db2onCloud?topic=Db2onCloud-iamjdbc)





 ODBC, CLP, and CLPPLUS 

For an ODBC application or a command-line client (CLP, CLPPLUS) to connect to a Db2 server by using IAM authentication, a data source name (DSN) needs to be configured first in a db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file by running the following command:

db2cli writecfg add -dsn <dsn_alias> -database <database_name> -host <host_name_or_IP_address> -port 50001 -parameter "Authentication=GSSPLUGIN;SecurityTransportMode=SSL"
Field Name Index Description 

 Bin The recommended binary to create a connection; in this case it is redli. 
 Composed A formatted command to establish a connection to your deployment. The command combines the Bin executable, Environment variable settings and uses Arguments as command-line parameters. 
 Environment A list of keys or values you set as environment variables. 
 Arguments 0... The information that is passed as arguments to the command shown in the Bin field. 
 Certificate Base64 A self-signed certificate that is used to confirm that an application is connecting to the appropriate server. It is base64 encoded. 
 Certificate Name The allocated name for the self-signed certificate. 
 Type The type of package that uses this connection information; in this case cli. 





* 0... indicates that there might be one or more of these entries in an array.



For more information, see [Connecting with a command line client](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-redis?topic=databases-for-redis-connecting-cli-client) page.
Example: inframgmtinstall.apps.mycluster.os.fyre.ibm.com
2. After the file registration.json is completed, log in and run the command to register Infrastructure management as an OIDC client.

Note: Include the -n ibm-common-services to specify this project, or the cloudctl iam command can fail.

cloudctl login -a https://<YOUR_CP4MCM_ROUTE> -n ibm-common-services

Example cloudctl iam command:

cloudctl iam oauth-client-register -f registration.json

Next, create a secret that is used by the Infrastructure management installation operator.







 Step 5. Create Secret for Infrastructure management OIDC configuration 

Create a secret that is used by the Infrastructure management installation operator when an Infrastructure management instance is installed.

Create a im-oidc-secret.yaml file with the values specific to your system, which are derived from the previous steps.

kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: imconnectionsecret
stringData:
oidc.conf: |-
LoadModule auth_openidc_module modules/mod_auth_openidc.so
ServerName https://<YOUR_IM_HTTPD_ROUTE>
LogLevel debug
OIDCCLientID <YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
OIDCClientSecret <YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
OIDCRedirectURI https://<YOUR_IM_HTTPD_ROUTE>/oidc_login/redirect_uri
OIDCCryptoPassphrase alphabeta
OIDCOAuthRemoteUserClaim sub
OIDCRemoteUserClaim name
 OIDCProviderMetadataURL missing
OIDCProviderIssuer https://127.0.0.1:443/idauth/oidc/endpoint/OP
Stop and start both the application engine and the web engine.
5. To finalize the registration, log out of the vSphere Web Client. Log back in to vSphere Web Client verify that HCX Tab is present.

In the app terminal, export MQSERVER variable with the following command: In the app terminal, export MQSERVER variable with the following command:



* export MQSERVER="CLOUD.APP.SVRCONN/TCP/<HOSTNAME>(<PORT>)"



* <HOSTNAME> - this is 'hostname' in the file connection_info.txt
* <PORT> - this is 'listenerPort' in the file connection_info.txt





4. Specify the app username

The amqsputc and amqsgetc commands also require an environment variable be set to specific which username they should use. In the app terminal, export MQSAMP_USER_ID with the following command:



* export MQSAMP_USER_ID="<APP_MQ_USER>"



* <APP_MQ_USER> - this is 'mqUsername' in the file apiKey.json





5. Disable Application AMS in the app terminal

In this tutorial we are enabling Queue Manager AMS. We therefore need to disable Application AMS (sometimes called Client AMS), so that only the queue manager performs AMS encryption and decryption, and the client does not. In the app terminal:



* IBM MQ Client 7.5:



* export AMQ_DISABLE_CLIENT_AMS=TRUE



* IBM MQ Client 8.0 onwards:



* export MQS_DISABLE_ALL_INTERCEPT=TRUE











 Create an alias queue, targeted at the default queue 

In this section, you will create an alias queue which is targeted at the default queue. Once QM AMS has been enabled, the AMS interceptors will trigger when a 'put' or 'get' is performed on the default queue. Therefore, despite the fact that the messages are encrypted on the queue, the message will be readable as plain text when retrieved. In order to demonstrate that the messages are encrypted, we can use an alias queue.

Connecting to Netezza Performance Server 

You can connect command-line interfaces, IBM, or third-party applications and tools or apps that you create to your IBM® Netezza® Performance Server for IBM Cloud Pak® for Data as a Service instance by using private or public endpoints.

For Azure, you can provision Netezza Performance Server with a private endpoint only or both public and private endpoints.

For AWS, you can provision Netezza Performance Server with a private or a public endpoint.

Each endpoint type provides a set of hostnames or IP addresses that you can use to log in to Netezza Performance Server by using the following components:



* [Netezza Performance Server web console](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/netezza?topic=netezza-getstarted-console)
The web interface, which you can use to manage and monitor your instance by using a standard HTTPS port 443.
* [Netezza Performance Server software clients](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza?topic=dls-installing-uninstalling-client-tools-software-2)
The command-line interface clients, which you can use to manage and monitor your instance by connecting to the database on port 5480 and the API server on a standard HTTPS port 443.



* To connect to the database, download and install [the ODBC/JDBC/nzsql client packages](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza?topic=dls-installing-uninstalling-client-tools-software-2).
* To connect to the API server to manage your instance, download [the nz tool](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/netezza?topic=netezza-nztool).







 Connecting to Netezza Performance Server by using public endpoints 

A public endpoint can be accessed over the public network or internet.
To connect to your application by using your public hostname details if you are on Azure or AWS, follow the steps.



1. Retrieve hostname details that are assigned to your instance:



1. Log in to your IBM Cloud account.
For example, ./automation-navigation-updates.sh -i https://vm17-im-test.ibm.com/



5. Verify that the Infrastructure management instance is in the IBM Cloud Pak console navigation menu. From the IBM Cloud Pak navigation menu, click Automate infrastructure > Infrastructure management.



Infrastructure management is integrated with the IBM Cloud Pak console.





 Step 8. Create the VM connection for the VM operator 

To use the functional operator ibm-management-infra-vm with Infrastructure management, you must create a Connection CR. Use these steps to create a default connection and update as needed.

Notes:



* The default connection name of imconnection is used by the operators unless otherwise specified in the CR. You can use the OpenShift Container Platform console or the CLI (command-line tools).
* The YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET values are generated when you register Infrastructure Management as an OIDC client.
* The IM_ADMIN_LDAP_USER must be a member of the LDAP group with the role EvmRole-super_administrator in Infrastructure management.
* IM_ADMIN_LDAP_USER Specifies the Infrastructure management LDAP admin user.
* IM_ADMIN_LDAP_PASS Specifies the Infrastructure management LDAP admin password.
* YOUR_CP4MCM_HOST The hostname of the IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management console.
* YOUR_CLIENT_ID The client ID used for registering Infrastructure management as an OIDC client with IAM.
* YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET The client secret that is used for registering Infrastructure management as an OIDC client with IAM.
Note: The YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET values are generated when you register Infrastructure Management as an OIDC client.





 Using the CLI to create the connection: 



1. Create a secret yaml file named imconnectionsecret.yaml with the following content.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: imconnectionsecret
  namespace: management-infrastructure-management
type: Opaque
stringData:
