Snowflake Target and Data Staging Support in Precisely Connect CDC. Connect CDC now supports replicating your captured data changes to Snowflake. Data source changes are pushed to and bundled in a staging area before being replicated (applied) in batches to the Snowflake target. Connect CDC supports staging data to an external Amazon Azure blob location.
For more information, see Chapter 2 Defining a Model in the Connect CDC Getting Started Guide or the Create a New Server for Snowflake topic in the Connect CDC Director's help.

Default Kernel Memory Extended. The minimum and maximum default memory values allocated to the kernel have increased to 1024 MB each, replacing the previous defaults of 512 MB. It is recommended that the maximum allocation be equal to the minimum allocation for performance efficiency. You can change these values, but lower values may impact performance and higher values are subject to the memory limit on the machine where Connect CDC runs.

Kernel processes requests when servers are unavailable. Connect CDC kernel starts all requests at startup, processing requests for all available servers and periodically polling servers that are offline for availability. If a server becomes active within a retry period of 3 minutes, the kernel starts its respective request. If a server remains inactive, the kernel generates alert messages without blocking other requests.

Improved IBMi Change Selector (CS) rollback performance. Transactions rolled back from IBMi sources operate with improved performance with a Rollback Agent. All affected change selectors enable this improvement automatically. Connect CDC generates messages when rollback the agent runs with the prefix RBA within the same message files as other CS messages. |

JDBC encryption support for Oracle. Connect CDC supports JDBC Encryption for Oracle database connections using the Oracle native network encryption algorithm. See Implementing JDBC authentication and encryption in the Connect CDC Help or Getting Started Guide for instructions. |
| 5.6.05.00 |
Oracle Inline Large Object (LOB) support for log based capture. Connect CDC can now replicate Inline LOBs using log-base capture. The only limitation to this feature occurs in come Oracle versions when Connect CDC attempts to capture a change that affects only an Inline LOB field in any given row. See the "Replication changes that only affect large objects" in the System Reference Guide or Connect CDC Help for more information. |
| 5.6.04.00 |
JSON formatted messages to Kafka. Connect CDC now supports the option to structure messages to Kafka using JSON format. This logically divides up messages by column and supports before and after images in those messages. |
| 5.6.04.00 |
Dedicated Capture Queues for IBM i Change Selectors. Connect CDC now supports assigning dedicated capture queues to IBM i change selectors. This asynchronously parallelized resource can improve performance for projects managing more than one IBM i metabase. |
| 5.6.02.00 |
Replicating long column values to Kafka targets. Connect CDC now replicates long column values from SQL Server and Oracle to Kafka with a maximum size set in the Connect CDC interface. If the column value is larger than the maximum size: - For character long columns, Connect CDC truncates the column value
- For binary long columns, Connect CDC rejects the target message apply

CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault Authentication. Connect CDC now supports retrieving passwords stored in a CyberArk vault to authenticate connections to Oracle and Microsoft SQL servers. This option is available for all Connect CDC installs other than remote installs. You cannot install a metabase after configuring CyberArk if you are installing the metabase for the first time or reinstalling a metabase you previously removed. CyberArk configurations do not prevent you from reinstalling a metabase without removing it.
For details on configuring CyberArk connections, see “Configurator for CyberArk installs” chapter in the Connect CDC Install Guide. |

OpenJDK 8 support. Connect CDC now supports Adopt OpenJDK8 as an option for Linux and Unix installs. Connect CDC now installs OpenJDK8 for Windows installs. |
| 5.6.00.00 |
Transaction bundling and asynchronous apply support for Kafka targets. Connect CDC now supports performance customization options to bundle transactions and apply them asynchronously to Kafka targets. This can improve performance if constant updates on changes are not critical/required. |
