Subscription maintenance in flight as add table, table error, set full refresh flag and etc.

We are testing CDC for DB2 z/OS as mainly producer of data replication to another CDC engines as kafka and oracle, so to much cdc admin issues is happening here, for example: when just one table of subs receives a error the entire subscription is ...

Refresh : subset row

Hi, The idea is to have No limit for SQL length when we need to refresh a subset of rows . The code limitation for SQL length IS 1000 characters. Sometimes SQL code is shorter than this limit, no issue. For other usages we can have over 1000000 ch...

CDC Should have the ability to better manage source table structure changes.

Currently the recommendation is to stop all DML activity to a source table in DB2 LUW before changing the table structure. In a 24X7 environment this is not practical. Since DB2 is able to handle the change in real time then CDC should be able to.
