support to write object storage (S3 and azure) in open parquet format

OP Financial Group Data Platforms:

We need CDC to write Parquet files directly (without additional/third party components) for replicating data to Cloud object storage (AWS S3 and Azure). The data will be used for analytics and data science tasks, and Parquet files are the de facto format for the purpose. Processing the data to further use cases / systems with cloud ETL is also easier if data is readily in Parquet format.

Needed By Yesterday (Let's go already!)

    The same writing to a Target functionality should be extended to write as TXT/CSV files into Cloud Object Storage. We are aware a writing to text file option exists as part of CDD, the dependence being on Information Server/Datastage.

    But this option should be independent of it.

    IBM Update.

    Thanks for filing this requirement. We think that the requirement is valid and we will add a capability to write Parquet format files. We are targeting delivering the capability in Q1 2025.
