Oracle-DB2 interface

 We are specifying requirements and off-the-shelf software for a system for  a client of ours. We plan to use DB/2 as the main database, but to use  Oracle on UNIX as an SQL switch and as a 'shadow' to improve  availability.

 That means that when a mainframe application updates DB/2, we need to  'trickle' the update through to the Oracle box. In an ideal world,  Oracle would read DB/2 transaction logs. Is that possible? If not, what  would be the best thing to submit to Oracle?

 Please mail and/or post any experience in this type of problem.

 Thank You
 Richard.
