CDC shouldn't require a cleanup of staging store and transaction queues to refresh a table already in scope

On a shared scrape instance, we noticed that if we need to refresh a table (or add one to replication scope), with rule based replication the start of the subscription (for refresh) will fail if there's an open transaction on the table. From the m...

Support Differential Refresh on DB2 for i (iSeries/ IBMi)

Currently there is no support to perform differential refresh when source/target databases are DB2 for i (iSeries / IBM i) This requires target tables to be cleared to perform a refresh in case there were any issues in replication. We have product...

Add a Feature to Replicate Microseconds Portion of Timestamp

We use IIDR CDC on z/OS for replication using DB2 data on z/OS as the source and a flat file on a non-z/OS platform as the target. We have encountered a situation where the microseconds portion of the timestamp value on a DB2 z/OS table is not ret...
