Replication: Q-Replication & Availability

Automate restart of IIDR tasks when RRS terminates

We had issues with RRS recently which were solved via a maintenance cycle. During those issues, our IIDR Capture and Apply tasks failed and required manual restart. We have the option TERM=N enabled yet the Capture/Apply tasks were not restarted w...

Q Replication to Kafka Targets

Kafka evolves as a platform for real time data streaming, analytics, and event processing. For enterprise customers the challenge is to let data originating on IBM z flow to Kafka. Popular options are Kafka APIs, MQ, data replication. Only data re...

Q Capture/Db2 LUW: Replicate DROP COLUMN-operations

If the source table of an active subscription is altered by a DROP COLUMN operation, there is high risk of continuous data corruption on that table due to incorrect reading of Db2's transaction log entries from that time on. The current workaround...

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 ...

The customer would like to know all the related tables associated with an uncommitted Unit of Recovery (UR).

If there is an uncommitted UR (a.k.a transaction) on the Capture side, is there a method for QREP to quickly locate the tables related to the uncommitted UR?

Request for re-try / reconnect mechanism

We'd like to request Replication to have re-try / reconnect mechanism even without MQ multiple instances. Because currently it doesn’t support MQ multiple instances, we can use SLB, but if it has no re-connect, we can do nothing.

Requesting Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal to Temporal Table

This RFE/Idea is to request Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal source to Temporal Table target. The existing Q-Replication only supports from Temporal to Temporal tables. For reporting within FTM (Financial Transaction Manager), there is a...

Possibility to execute STARTQ command with "CAPTUREUPTO" option

In high workload environments it would be very useful to let QCapture work on a STARTQ command with predefined end. Currently this can be done by a STARTQ command and after the SendQ is active a subsequent STOPQ with captureupto.But if for some re...

ASNMON improvements on z/OS

In a customer that has installed Q Replication, I've been working in deploy ASNMON task on z/OS side as replacement of IBM Infosphere Data Replication Dashboard tool that was deprecated. The ASN.IBMSNAP_CONDITIONS tables is used to configure the a...

Add ability to have multiple Q-replication targets on Db2wh

Currently on Db2wh, there is no ability to add multiple targets for Q-Replication. Please consider adding that idea as we have business case to implement such solution
