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...

ASNMON improvements on z/OS

In a customer that has installed Q Replication, I've been working in deploy ASNMON task on z/OS side as replacement of IBM Infosphere Data Replication Dashboard tool that was deprecated. The ASN.IBMSNAP_CONDITIONS tables is used to configure the a...

Requesting Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal to Temporal Table

This RFE/Idea is to request Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal source to Temporal Table target. The existing Q-Replication only supports from Temporal to Temporal tables. For reporting within FTM (Financial Transaction Manager), there is a...

The Q-Replication apply programm shall be able to call the Db2 High Performance Unload (HPU) utility by the HPU stored procedure

Hello, in enterprise warehouse and OLTP areas of DB2 installations exist often very big databases with several tera bytes (often 100 of TBs) of data. For example we have several OLTP databases with more than 20TB and tables with billion of records...

Q-Replication Apply program shall be able to recognize if a column-organized table contains already a dictionary

Hello, the current implementation of the Q-Replication apply program for an automatic LOAD operation on column-organized target tables does not recognize if a dictionary already exist. A column compression dictionary is used to compress data in...

Adding of a new apply parameter DBLOAD_OPTIONS in order to influence an automatic load performed by the Q-Replication apply program on column-organized tables.

A column compression dictionary is used to compress data in a column of a column-organized table. When you load data into a column-organized table, the first phase is the analyze phase, which is unique to column-organized tables.The analyze phase ...

LOAD should not be restarted when Apply fails during SET INTEGRITY

When setting up Replication for a DB2 Table for the first time Apply will use a LOAD FROM Cursor to do an initial copy of the tables data. If there are constraints or generated columns defined for that table Apply will issue a SET INTEGRITY comman...

Db2 LUW - SQL replication should optionally use TRUNCATE when performing a Full Refresh of large tables

Db2 LUW SQL Replication (10.2.1) When you run a Full Refresh of a subscription set, the asnapply utility issues a DELETE FROM <target table> prior to the refresh of the data. For large tables this has a significant and unnecessary overhead -...

Replicating clone tables from a source data store and tables which have a clone table defined

As per IDR 11.4, support is not provided either for replicating source clone tables or for replicating tables which have a clone table defined. We need to be able to replicate source tables involved in clone relationships.

Possibility to execute STARTQ command with "CAPTUREUPTO" option

In high workload environments it would be very useful to let QCapture work on a STARTQ command with predefined end. Currently this can be done by a STARTQ command and after the SendQ is active a subsequent STOPQ with captureupto.But if for some re...
