Connect CDC (SQData) is currently distributed via FTP using customer specific credentials. Request those credentials by email to support@precisely.com or by opening a case on the support portal.
While maintenance releases generally involve only a subset of Connect CDC SQData modules, updates are packaged as a full installation. Migration of an installation from one environment to the next, development to production for example may involve little more than copying the LOADLIB members to the production libraries. There is nothing that ties the linked modules directly to the LOADLIB.
If however, your environments have different version of DB2 or IMS, then the safest course is to re-link in the the upper environments. This is because we include certain IMS, DB2, CICS and MQ modules. If you are using the product with those modules in lower environments and they are compatible with those in upper environments, then no re-link on upper environments is needed. If they are not compatible, then you have to re-link.
