Important: It is highly recommended that you back up your current object and load module libraries before applying any maintenance release. This allows you to quickly back out the maintenance if any problems arise.
From time to time, Precisely will provide maintenance releases for the Connect CDC (SQData) base product components. These maintenance releases include:
  • Correction of program defects
  • Small enhancements
  • New functions or support for additional datastore types

Connect CDC (SQData) is currently distributed via FTP using customer specific credentials. Request those credentials by contacting Support 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.
