The Q-Replication apply programm shall be able to call the Db2 High Performance Unload (HPU) utility by the HPU stored procedure

Hello, in enterprise warehouse and OLTP areas of DB2 installations exist often very big databases with several tera bytes (often 100 of TBs) of data. For example we have several OLTP databases with more than 20TB and tables with billion of records...

Q-Replication Apply program shall be able to recognize if a column-organized table contains already a dictionary

Hello, the current implementation of the Q-Replication apply program for an automatic LOAD operation on column-organized target tables does not recognize if a dictionary already exist. A column compression dictionary is used to compress data in...

LOAD should not be restarted when Apply fails during SET INTEGRITY

When setting up Replication for a DB2 Table for the first time Apply will use a LOAD FROM Cursor to do an initial copy of the tables data. If there are constraints or generated columns defined for that table Apply will issue a SET INTEGRITY comman...

Request for supporting MQ automatic client reconnect

As we know, IBM MQ supports multi-instance configuration and automatic client reconnect since version 7.0.1. Recently we found the latest Q-Relication (11.4.0) even not support such a basic function( automatic client reconnect with multi-instance ...

Db2 LUW - SQL replication should optionally use TRUNCATE when performing a Full Refresh of large tables

Db2 LUW SQL Replication (10.2.1) When you run a Full Refresh of a subscription set, the asnapply utility issues a DELETE FROM <target table> prior to the refresh of the data. For large tables this has a significant and unnecessary overhead -...

Prompt customer need to reduce prune interval

In a busy Q Rep env with many bi-di Q subs, there may lots of P2PNORECAPTURE signal insert into IBMQREP_SIGNAL control table by Q Apply program. As per design, Q Capture delete up to 10000 rows at a time for one prune interval. When the average P2...

Fully replication support of Db2 data type XML with IDR Queue Replication especially for the case the Queue message size is limited because of using Shared Queues based on Coupling Facility structures

We replicate a lot of changes of our operational zDb2 data to a Db2 LUW (BLU) via IDR Queue Replication. The Db2 BLU is used as the data base of our datawarehouse processes. The Queue Replication uses Shared Queues which are mapped on Coupling Fac...

Sequence Number management in a replicated DB2 system

Today sequence numbering in a DB2 subsystem that is being replicated to a secondary site needs to be managed outside of the replication support manually by the customer. Guidance has been given to use odd/even numbering on one side and the other. ...

ASNCLP should support LARGE tablespaces and AUTOMATIC storage options for Db2

With Db2 11.5 SQL Replication, USING PROMOTE REGISTRATION in ASNCLP to generate a script to run later, the tablespace definitions are created incorrectly for existing tablespaces defined as LARGE and using AUTOMATIC storage. LARGE tablespaces a...
