Please certify the product IBM Data Replication IMS for z/OS Remote Source to run on zCX and/or Red Hat Openshift

We’ve achieved excellent results with the Db2 for Remote Source product, as it has significantly reduced CPU usage on the mainframe—an area where traditional data replication has historically been one of the top resource consumers. With the introd...

Identify major LOG captures.

We frequently experience delays in QREP Capture readings on our peak processing days without any apparent monster transactions. Transactions and rows continue to be processed, but at a slower rate than the actual log reads. In these cases, we have...

Let Capture build the transaction message with non-LOB columns first and LOB columns last instead of in strict column sequence order.

Please consider changing Capture to build transaction messages with all non-LOB data first, then add on the LOB data after all other non-LOB data no matter what the sequence numbers. This would prevent the risk of splitting a message on non-LOB da...

CHCCLP - Return Code Handling in Mainframe and LUW platform

Provide return codes for individual CHCCLP instructions and add features to CHCCLP script to evaluate return code (e.g., if...then...else...) before proceeding with subsequent instructions. Additionally, include an option to set return codes back ...

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...

Capture DB segment replace calls which actual data is not updated.

Our client (Fukuoka Financial Group) is currently using Dprop(IMS DataPropagater for z/OS) for creating Data Warehouse. Dprop captures replace calls and writes to PRDS(Propagation Request Data Set) even when DB segment was not actually updated. Cl...

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...
almost 2 years ago in Data Replication: Q-Replication & Availability / Q Replication for Z 2 Needs more information

CCDC replication should be restarted when an unexpected error occurs.

We are suffering with an issue where CCDC replication stops for unknown reasons. It has been almost two years since we opened the case TS014238021, but we still don't know the cause. An APAR PH65595 has been opened for this issue, but no PTF has b...

Capture DB segment replace calls which actual data is not updated.

Our client is currently using Dprop(IMS DataPropagater for z/OS) for creating Data Warehouse. Dprop captures replace calls and writes to PRDS(Propagation Request Data Set) even when DB segment was not actually updated. Client’s Dprop application p...

Be able to add options in the cross-LOAD command executed by QREP, during a refresh of target tables

Hello there, I have opened one IBM case for this topic. What is the point: We have some troubles with QREP replication.When QREP is trying to do a LOAD REPLACE (via stored procedure DSNUTILU), in the target table, if someone is using the targe tab...
