The following summary highlights what is new in Connect CDC 5.8.00.00. Details of new features, platforms, and fixed problems can be found in their respective sections.

5.8.11.03

Fixed Issues
  • Save-while-active and other processes were trying to save metabases and install libraries, (both in *LIBL of the connection job), and failed because of uncommitted transactions.
  • An unplanned connection reset issued numerous messages regarding the QHST log.
  • Duplicate transactions found in the rp_log.
  • The prepared statements uses the update statement cache for Postgres targets causing the incorrect number of parameters to be used with Upsert statements.
  • Fix for incorrect updates for a target column value mismatch from source column value.

For more information, see fixed issues for 5.8.11.03.

5.8.11.02

Fixed Issue

An issue in the temporary table management was preventing the temporary table from being cleaned after writing to RP_RBACK and optimizing writing performances. For more information, see fixed issues for 5.8.11.02.

5.8.11.01

Fixed Issue

Rows were not getting applied to Kafka as a target. For more information, see fixed issues for 5.8.11.01.

5.8.11

Fixed Issues

  • In Connect CDC to Snowflake replication, NULLs are being replicated instead of spaces or empty fields.
  • Director was setting white spaces as special values.
  • Selective start copies all tables when Retrieval Order is set.

For more information, see fixed issues for 5.8.11.

5.8.10

  • Connect CDC now supports GCP SQL as a target. For more information, see GCP SQL.
  • For releases prior to 5.8.05, Connect CDC used High Water Mark (HWM) file for Kafka targets to keep track of transactions that have been committed successfully and possibly records that cannot be committed because of validation errors. Now, the HWM file will be skipped and the duplicate records will not be handled but written to Kafka. For more information, see FileHwmReader used to read content of HWM file.
  • Connect CDC now supports IBM i custom CCSID. If the field content has a different encoding from any given metadata, then an external value will be used by the RP_CCCSID definitions. For more information, see Data specific decoding custom CCSID.
  • Model validation message for 60872 was changed from error to warning. For more information, see Model validation messages.
Fixed Issues
  • Connections were getting a parse error when processing a continuation row in Oracle.
  • Data may be lost after a switch occurs from redo to archive logs.
  • Columns in the target table (MySQL) were not retrieved in the correct order.

For more information, see fixed issues for 5.8.10.

Known Issue
  • The compressed table records were not being captured and written to the metabase tables. For more information, proposed solution.
