Infosphere Classic CDC - needs to handle local time

Previous to V9.5 the time-stamp in the message represented when the Correlation Service processed the change and not the time when the application made the change. This condition of using the Classic server Correlation Service (CS) time and not the database change time.
The Classic V9.5 and higher requirement was to use the database time (e.g., IMS uses STCK's which are in UTC (GMT) format) to establish at exactly what time did a change actually occur that was being published.
There is no option to convert the time-stamps to a local time, only delimited format messages are supported for publishing to MQ.
This is the current design and for V11.3 recommend customer to submit a RFE (Request for Enhancement) to have an option in Classic to convert the UTC in V11.3 to a local time format.

    [IBM Update]

    Hi,

    Thank you for filing this requirement and for your interest in keeping our IMS/VSAM Data Replication technologies vital and successful.

    After a recent review of your request, we believe it was already addressed in one of our later releases. With that said, if our fixes did not address your request completely on the latest maintenance, we encourage you to file a new idea accompanied with any additional information that could better help us understand and prioritize your request.
