Replication: Change Data Capture

Unable to Correlate CDC ephemeral ports with specific subscriptions

We have many CDC subscriptions. When a specific subscription is experiencing latency issues, we would like to perform a packet/sniffer trace on the TCP connection but there is no way to correlate CDC ephemeral ports with specific subscription. We ...

replication tool should be able to track the changes happening on the source during the refresh period and then replicate them on to target accurately or handle the conflicts gracefully rather than terminating the whole replication process.

At Goldman, Infosphere CDC is setup in such a way that it starts every day at 2:30 pm ET, refreshes the target table(s)and keeps them in sync from that point. We started seeing issues recently where Infosphere terminates completely saying that the...

Refresh table process needs ways to identify possible bootlenecks

During normal Mirroring in a subscription we have the ability to put it into monitoring and the console shows the activity and possible bottlenecks. But during refresh it's like a "black box". We have no way within the product to try to identify t...

Ability to add query tag/s on IIDR subscription level

We got an IIDR Flexrep agent agent installed that is used to replicate data from DB2 to Snowflake. It will be nice if there's a way to add query tags on subscription level so that it will allow us to track individual query or group of queries to h...

Allow replication from Kafka as a source

It would be good to support replications from Kafka as a source to other targets. This idea might sound strange if this were the only replication happening, but this could be part of a "cascading" replication, e.g. if data is replicated from Db2 t...

fast load for CDC PostgreSQL

Building out replication from IMS to PostgreSQL, we tested a refresh of 1.7 mil records which would take an estimated 11 hours. With 428 tables some over 50 mil. We need a faster way to refresh the tables. In addition to normal build out we need t...

Replace DB Link between Downstream and Prod Database for 19-C TDE through IDR CDC

AS a part of 19-C TDE through IDR CDC, it uses DB Link between Primary and Downstream to call the Dictionary Build back to the Primary. IDR currently utilizes the DB link option to make the process of issuing and retrieving the StartSCN from a new...

We need a connector from Db2 zOS to AWS DynamoDB, please, with sugar!

There is no straightforward way to use IIDR to replicate from Db2 zOS to DynamoDB on AWS. I think many customers could benefit from this additional capability.

Send notification emails over secure TLS smtp protocol

In the current context of digitization, where security is extremely important and where all data transmission protocols, such as smtp, are adapting and incorporating secure communication methods, such as SSL and TLS, it seems essential to incorpor...

Export Subscriptions --> when Main Frame credentials are not saved in Data store is causing an authentication failure on export via CHCCLP

When you promote the subscription from one to another environment using the script is very helpful.
