Integrated Synchronization is is a built-in product feature and provides another approach besides Change Data Capture. It is available on both deployment options for the Accelerator, so on IBM Z as well as IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS). You can find more details regarding this function here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4LQ8_7.5.0/com.ibm.datatools.aqt.doc/installmanual/topics/tp_idaa_inst_incr_updt_isync.html
Please have a look at the pre-req as it requires Db2 12 with FL500 and some other PTFs.
Further, Integrated Synchronization is our strategic technique as it offers a lot of benefits compared to Change Data Capture for our Accelerator Use case. We are also working on a Redpaper, which will include more details, use cases and best practises.
Is integrated Synchronization the same as IIAS? If it is, I find that to be very disturbing. IDAA is now being supported/promoted on divergent platforms and supporting a solution on one platform but not the other represents an investment and a platform preference. I would absolutely encourage you to reconsider this approach. On the other hand, if Integrated Synchronization doesn't mean IIAS, then I would like more information on Integrated Synchronization.
Release 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 delivered this function for Replication via Integrated Synchronization. Please read here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/733587#whatsnew752
However, we not intend to deliver these enhancements also for Replication based on Change Data Capture (CDC).
