Idea - Initiate a refresh on table without stopping the subscription


To Add an Option / Auto to initiate a Refresh on Table withAdd an option to initiate a refresh on table without stopping the subscription

We replicate data from Db2 to Oracle/Kafka and vice versa and we need a zero downtime replication pipe and at the event of a failure or error on a table in a subscription with many table,there might be a need for refresh and in order to do it the IIDR CDC mirroring has to be stopped and mark the table on question to Flag for Refresh and start the subscription back, This will take an outage on the live replication on the other tables which are part of the same replication.If you could consider this use case as an enhancement request to develop a feature that can make IIDR CDC to perform an online refresh with out taking an outage on a live subscription.
