    Make UTF-8 validation optional for user functions

    Please add an option to the CDC config to switch UTF-8 validation on and off. This can be narrowed down to %USER functions - currently CDC always does UTF-8 validation for such definitions, even if a column is marked 'binary'. In our environment, ...

    CDC could check in advance whether the log record provided by IFI 306 can be discarded, as in cases of records originating from utilities such as REBUILD INDEX.

    Today we have some REBUILD INDEXES that run on very large NPI indexes, as consequence of LOAD INDEXDEFER NPI. These REBUILD INDEXES last some hours to finish. We noticed IBM CDC for Db2 z/OS follows units of recovery (URs) generated by these REBUI...

    Sequence number, row number of the record

    When using MySQL DB as a source and in case of multiple transactions done in the same commit cycle, there is no way to know the sequence of executed transactions. In the journal control fields, there is a commit cycle id (CCID), this is same for m...

    Add support for heterogenous DDL replication from a DB2 LUW source to a DB2 LUW target

    Our customers use CDC 11.4 to replicate tables between DB2 LUW 11.5. When adding new column or altering column in these replication tables, they hope to minimise the replication downtime between the source and target DB. However, the CDC only supp...

    Setting Variables, such as style or render, should be available on multi-selected items

    If I want to apply the same attributes to multiple items in a report, then I can select the many items and apply the property.For example, if I want to apply the same conditional style, font to a number of list columns then I can select all the ap...

    Macro functional parity of prompt/paramvalue and promptmany

    The cognos macro language has the ParamValue function which is great for getting parameters without causing a missing parameter exception (and a prompt appearing). ParamValue can only be used for single values. It has feature parity with the Promp...

    We need the Oracle Instant Client to be supported by CDC Replication Engine.

    We are requesting IBM official support for the Oracle Instant Client with CDC Replication. These items have been identified by IBM as potential exposures with the Oracle Instant Client: - No official support for CDC with Oracle Instant Client. Ora...

    Enable queryValue() and queryValues() for Report Queries and Data Items

    As of today, both macro functions queryValue() and queryValues() can only be used with direct source paths (e.g., package or data module). It would be extremely beneficial for report authors if these functions could also reference report queries a...

    Make CDC throw an event and bring down the subscription on IBMi CDC agent to ensure it no longer consumes CPU cycles

    We understand that if a table has got a DDL change, all subscriptions in which the table is used, have to be updated. But since human mistakes are possible, this high CPU consumption could be prevented if in the continuous mirroring been started a...

    IBM CDC replication - Target scenario - Mongodb Atlas or Mongo DB CE or EE. CDC Engine for this specific target does not proceed with replication if collection is blank or not created. We need replication to work BAU even if target does not have corresponding collections and/or data in the collections.

    1. Customer has already requested and asserted it as a missing feature. 2. In the absence of this feature, customer has requested for an utility which will automate the creation of collection and/or dummy row with the matching datatype at par with...
