Data Replication: Change Data Capture

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...

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...

Allowing SETJRNPOS to run with a parameter for “current” to automatically capture the active journal position on IBM i

CDC on IBM iSeries (Db2 for i) does not provide a built-in feature to automatically update the journal sequence after a failover or planned switch. The manual step (capturing and updating the journal sequence) requires an exact restart point to pr...

Infosphere CDC Db2 for i : To validate the product compatibility with password level 4

With IBMi OS V7R5 we have new security enhancement where Passwords are stored using a one-way SHA-2 hash algorithm, which can be enabled with system level password level to 4 . We would to confirm that the product Infosphere CDC Db2 for i compatib...

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 for Oracle database: if you are replicating an tables from Oracle where there are encrypted tablespaces, CDC should warn that it cannot be used as source

A customer has pointed out that the Oracle team might encrypt tablespaces, databases or any eligible for encryption object without any prior warning. This customer would benefit of CDC for Oracle database warning that the source tables are encrypt...

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...

Monitoring role for CDC Subscriptions: Check Subscription Status without table level access

This idea is for DB2 for Z/OS as Source in IIDR CDC replication environment At present, the IIDR CDC Management Console and CHCCLP scripts allow status check on CDC subscriptions only if mainframe user used to connect to DB2 on Z/OS datastore has ...

Management Console to support the ability of %CURTMSTP output being able to be added directly into an oracle timestamp(6) column - current output supports string only

Avoid the use of %STOREDPROC to call external procedure to convert %CURTMSTP into a timestamp compatible value when needing to store the actual target commit time since the call is expensive and does not support fast refresh option. use of %TODATE...
