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 ...

Encrypted Emails from ASNMON on Z

In our replication environment ASNMON is running on Z to monitor Q Replication processes on a significant number of Z systems. In case ASNMON records an exception, ASNMON sends emails to admin accounts. The mail server team generally requires encr...

Parameter to suppress the generate of Grant Statements in Db2 Cloning Tool

When we clone tablespaces from a production to a test Db2 system we would like to suppress all authorizations on the target objects (e.g. tables, views), because users don't possess the same privileges in these two environments. At this time cloni...

support for CHG_UPD_TO_DEL_INS=Y in Q-replication z/OS

we are on DB2 z/OS V12R1M509 and are migrating our applications from SQL-replication to Q-replication. we have multiple applications which use Non-Condensed, Non-complete CCD targets and are built around using IBMSNAP_REGISTER CHG_UPD_TO_DEL_INS=Y...

Replicating clone tables from a source data store and tables which have a clone table defined

As per IDR 11.4, support is not provided either for replicating source clone tables or for replicating tables which have a clone table defined. We need to be able to replicate source tables involved in clone relationships.

Add CAPTUREUPTO as Q Capture startup parameter
