Q Replication for Z

Showing 61 of 15570

Separate offerings for Q rep and CDC instead of bundle

From a product patch/maintenance standpoint, the management of these 2 products has been difficult because they both resolve to one product name. But each product has their own maintenance fixes, separate SMP zones, and separate patch scheduling i...

Provide industry standard support for MFA on Replication Centre

We use a wide range of IBM Db2 tools and products and the vast majority of them already support MFA security. MFA is a defacto industry security standard and we would expect all IBM products to support it. We see this as a major deficiency in the ...

In SQL replication, do not re-execute signals that have already been executed.

In SQL replication, as in Q Capture, add a reprocess_signals to the parameters of the capture and set the default to N. Do not re-execute a signal that has already been executed if the minimum LSN is less than the last signal LSN at the start of t...

Implement more granularity processing on "CORRELID" to force more parallelism at Q Apply

We have an application with a high criticality and high workload running Q Replication in a bidirectional mode.This application uses CICS transactions, TSO Batch, Java Batch, local zWAS and distributed transactions as well.And because batch jobs c...

The customer would like to know all the related tables associated with an uncommitted Unit of Recovery (UR).

If there is an uncommitted UR (a.k.a transaction) on the Capture side, is there a method for QREP to quickly locate the tables related to the uncommitted UR?

Improvement of QREP to allow replication of data generated in the Db2 LOG by the LOAD utility with SHRLEVEL NONE LOG YES.

Need: Meet the growing demand for data replication from Banco do Brasil -Scenario:- Banco do Brasil is a large user of data replication using Qrep (IIDR) + Db2 v13 for z/OS, there are thousands of tables replicated from production environments for...

Possibility to execute STARTQ command with "CAPTUREUPTO" option

In high workload environments it would be very useful to let QCapture work on a STARTQ command with predefined end. Currently this can be done by a STARTQ command and after the SendQ is active a subsequent STOPQ with captureupto.But if for some re...

SQLCA -904 not offload on Infosphere Q-Replication job log on z/os

QREP didn’t externalize the SQLCA error -904 on Prod DB2.. Since we dont have a SQL error Monitoring tool on one of the BU Prod db2 enabled.. So debugging the issue was difficult.. There should be some repository/documentation where this SQLCA err...

Data captured in long transactions with guaranteed delivery to destination

It is usefull because sometimes a very long transaction pass through the Capture process but can´t be delivered causing memory lack at destination. The benefit would be not losing the data transferred to the destination. One suggestion would be to...
