Table-Level QMAP Properties for Automated Q Replication Management

In modern, automated database environments, schema changes and table deployments are often managed via CI/CD pipelines using metadata or declarative configuration. Currently, registering and deregistering tables with the correct source and target QMAPs for Q Replication is a manual or script-driven process, which increases operational overhead and risk of configuration drift.

I propose enabling the specification of source_qmap and target_qmap as explicit, user-defined properties in table metadata (either in configuration files or as native Db2 table properties). Automation and deployment tools could consume these properties to dynamically and safely generate/register or deregister Q Replication mapping scripts during deployments. Optionally, Db2 or Q Replication tools could natively recognize these properties for streamlined management.
This approach would:

  • Reduce human error and manual configuration steps
  • Accelerate CI/CD and DevOps workflows for non-intrusive changes
  • Improve consistency and auditability of replication mappings
  • Enable fully automated, metadata-driven replication management
