Data Replication: Change Data Capture

Implement auto restart on DB2 for i CDC agent.

At the moment DB2 for i CDC agents can't autorestart a mirror replication if an error occurs like a network problem. The auto restart should work just like the auto restart in DB2 LUW agent.

Upgrade DB2 z/OS native capture engine from 31‑bit to 64‑bit to lift below‑the‑bar storage limits

Problem statement Log cache is hitting the below‑the‑bar storage ceiling because the current 31‑bit (16 MiB – 2 GiB) address space limits the amount of data that can reside in L1/L2 cache. This runs the risk of a cache spill and degrades CDC laten...

Add network‑level metrics and break latency into source, transport, and target components

Network‑level observability is currently minimal; there is no visibility into gets/puts, zero‑window conditions, retransmissions, or other TCP indicators. End‑to‑end latency is reported as a single number based on transaction commit time, which hi...

Enable continuous, per‑subscription performance statistics and catch‑up estimations

The DB2 z/OS source engine only reports discrete, commit‑based metrics, and many source‑side statistics are available only at the capture level (e.g., log‑cache footprint). As a result, operators have no visibility into subscription‑level read rat...

Provide component‑level bottleneck diagnostics and root‑cause metrics for CDC pipelines

Customers cannot reliably identify the exact part of the pipeline that is limiting performance. Current snapshot views only surface a generic “target database” or “Target Engine” bottleneck, and the “SOURCE communication wait” metric shows that th...

Basic data lineage reports and support with lineage tooling

As a user of CDC, I want to be able to answer basic questions about the data lineage of my subscriptions easily and in an automated way. Today, if an internal customer asks where my data is going this is a manual effort and takes time to solve. Th...

Enable Collect Statistics for Subscriptions by Default

If performance statistics are not enabled for a subscription, there is no way to troubleshoot or debug issues in the future. As a user of CDC, I want to avoid having performance statistics turned on by default would help with troubleshooting. I am...
