Replication: Change Data Capture

Showing 322

Only process the Partitions that a Table is in when reading log records in a DPF environement

We have Tables that are only defined in certain partitions but when we restart a subscription CDC is asking for log records for partitions that do not contain the Table. This causes to have to restore old log files that are not needed for the Tables.

CHANGE DATA CAPTURE FOR DB2 z/OS - ONUTILITYACTION parameter

the idea would be to be able to set different values for this parameter ONUTILITYACTION at the subscription level. Today this parameter is set at the CDC agent level. This doesn't allow customers to have different behaviors regarding DB2 z/OS uti...

CDC for z/OS should use the same APPLICATION DEFAULTS module as DB2 for z/OS.

DB2 z/OS supports use of APPLICATION DEFAULTS modules named differently than the default DSNHDECP. Many customers make use of this DB2 feature to build DECP modules with custom names. CDC for z/OS, however, loads a hardcoded DSNHDECP module which ...
