Is it possible to replicate among different local database environment?

[n***@naver.com]

I have a customer who uses two DB2 UDB and he want to replicate each engines.
But each databases language codeset are different. One is 970 and the other is UTF8.

I wonder in this case , it is possible to replicate among different local database environment.

Thanks in advance.

As long as it's possible to map all characters between the code pages, you
won't have a problem. If there are code points in the character sets that
cannot be mapped, then the default behavior of DB2 applies (the Apply-part
of Replication is basically just like any other DB2 application). I'm not
sure what the default is. It may be to use surrogate characters or return
warnings/errors. If you just replicate from whatever to UTF-8 (and not the
other way), I wouldn't expect much problems.
