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...

Implementing a DB2 HADR Cluster Solution on AWS with Route53 in Place of Overlay IP.

As outlined in the IBM technote, implementing a DB2 HADR cluster using Overlay IPs presents several constraints. The Overlay IP must be unique within the VPC and on-premises environments and must adhere to the private IP address range specified in...

Automatic data validation by using asnclp create qsub with different data type column mapping

Related to the case TS020335936 Scenario: Consider the following qsub creation: mapping VARCHAR(26) to TIMESTAMP(6) TRGCOLS EXCLUDE (RECORD_TIME, MES_RECORD_TIME, SITE_CD, D_KEY, CHANGE_TYPE, CHANGE_TIME) EXPRESSION ( "'MES2'" TARGET SITE_CD, "cur...

Db2 on Cloud should provide the same redundancy/HA capability in the HADR nodes as it does on the primary nodes.

Db2 on IBM Cloud provide consumers with BCDR capabilities by allowing one or more HADR instances to be created in various regions and provides a simple push-button promotion process to affect DR fail-over/fail-back operations. However, when runnin...

Performance improvement for expression

Add one column with STATIC expression on target, but got long processing time (delay) on apply side. Would like to know the reason why. New Expression:Expression: ‘MES1’ -> site_cd Existing expression looks like as:CASE WHEN :SYS_CD is NULL the...

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...

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...
