Q Capture/Db2 LUW: Replicate DROP COLUMN-operations

If the source table of an active subscription is altered by a DROP COLUMN operation, there is high risk of continuous data corruption on that table due to incorrect reading of Db2's transaction log entries from that time on. The current workaround...

Request for re-try / reconnect mechanism

We'd like to request Replication to have re-try / reconnect mechanism even without MQ multiple instances. Because currently it doesn’t support MQ multiple instances, we can use SLB, but if it has no re-connect, we can do nothing.

Request for supporting MQ automatic client reconnect

As we know, IBM MQ supports multi-instance configuration and automatic client reconnect since version 7.0.1. Recently we found the latest Q-Relication (11.4.0) even not support such a basic function( automatic client reconnect with multi-instance ...

IBM Data for Availability V1.2 RFE for tablespaces objects replication
