Real time replication of tables/indexes that has compression ON using IIDR (CDC) replication software

We have a need where we need to ingest data from various sources (SQL Server for example) into DB2 for LUW.

We are using IIDR (CDC) data replication software for quite some time and we ingest data from SQL Server, Sybase, Mainframe to DB2 for LUW by setting up real time replication.

Few weeks back, I was setting up new data ingest (real time) replication from MS SQL Server to DB2 for LUW and during the table mappings, I encountered error about tables/indexes (in my case indexes had compression set to PAGE) and could not establish replication.

In spite of using the latest CDC source instance version, IBM can back with the reply saying tables/indexes having compression attribute set is not supported.
