    Event ID 6645 Conundrum

    Ideally every CDC Event ID should be unique and have a Unique description or Event Text. What we noticed is that the event ID 6645 could mean any of the following scenarios: 1. Exception occurred during replication. Exception at continue reading I...

    Add the feature to map bigint type to the derived expression (Source: IBMi, Target: CDC Kafka)

    We have a column in a table defined as BIGINT. We are adding the replication of it. As part of requirement, the old value of the column is also needed. Would be easier to do via %BEFORE(column_name). But this throws a message "RA MSG 2013 Derived ...

    Trigger an alert mechanism whenever a DML transaction is captured in between 2 DDL transactions on the same table

    If we run a DDL-DML-DDL scenario and update the metadata of the table using dmreaddtable command and resume mirroring, the data is getting mapped incorrectly. This has been observed where the datatypes are similar and CDC starts capturing data wit...

    IBM Data Replication CDC support AWS Glue Schema Registry

    Idea: IIDR Kafka target on AWS (AWS MSK) should support AWS Glue Schema Registry. According to current documentation for IIDR version 11.4.0: By default, replicated data in the Kafka message is written in the Confluent Avro binary format. The foll...

    CDC for z/OS can use only Db2 ACM exit named DSNX@XAC, made accessible to CDC via STEPLIB concatenation. However, starting with DB2 for z/OS v10, customers can use a member name other than DSNX@XAC for the access control exit routine (zPARM ACCESS...

    Enable "overwrite encoding as binary" for CLOB

    We have several CLOB columns in DB2 that contain binary data. Due to 0x00 Byte values we can't transfer them into a TEXT column in postgreSQL (0X00 is not accepted in utf-8). The Option "overwrite encoding as binary" on the CLOB Column in "Db2 for...

    Oracle fastload Refresh method does not do intermediate commits

    When doing a Refresh to Oracle using the fastload method, no intermediate commits are done. That means that all records are loaded to the target table before committing the transaction (and the fastload_refresh_commit_after_max_operations paramete...

    Graceful recovery from any error with /tmp in install of CDC engine on Linux/Unix

    Currently the installer scripts for CDC on Linux and Unix uses /tmp by default for unpacking objects deposited on the server at the start of the install process. The installer deals gracefully with the case that /tmp does not have enough free stor...

    IDR-Parallele-Table-Refresh

    to improve the init phase especially for DataLAKE projects (Kafka agents, HDFS agent), it would be very pertinent to be able to execute table refresh in parallel and not sequentially in the same subscription.

    Stronger encryption for usernames and passwords in CDC metadata

    Currently the usernames and passwords are not strongly encrypted in the CDC metadata or in the Access Server files. Many customers in secure environments would like stronger encryption to be used.
