Note: An Apply Engine bug in versions 4.1.42 through 4.1.47 halts reporting of ACKs to the publisher after UOW
completion to asynchronous target data stores as mentioned below. Affected customers should upgrade to
V4.1.48.
-
DB2z capture/publisher (SQDDB2C):
- Fix an unsupported type error for tables with graphic type columns in the Db2z capture dynamic refresh.
- Provide a command-line argument for DB2z capture to override the internal default
ccsidused when a tablespace catalog entry does not have one. The internal defaults based on encoding type are 037 for EBCDIC, 1208 for Unicode, and 819 for ASCII. Currently, only oneccsidoverride may be specified. It will be used for any missingccsidregardless of encoding type. If different overrides are needed for more than one encoding type, contact Support to request it.
-
IMS Log Capture (SQDIMSC) and Unload Utility (SQDIMSU):
- New
--route=segmentcommand line argument provides Publisher routing by segment name for IMS records produced by the IMS log capture and the IMS Unload Utility.
- New
-
z/OS CDCzLog Publisher (SQDZLOGC):
- Support segment routing for Log Capture (SQDIMSC) and IMS Unload Utility (SQDIMSU).
-
Apply (SQDENG/SQDATA) Engine:
- Fix a bug in Apply Engine that causes multiple fetches on a Oracle cursor resulting in missing column data.
- Fix a bug that resulted in null output from the Apply Engine STORECLOCK function.
- Fix a bug in the Apply Engine that resulted in the halting of ACKs to the publisher after unit-of-work completion to asynchronous target data stores. The error is applicable to versions 4.1.42 through 4.1.47. Tip: Affected customers should upgrade to V4.1.48.
- Fix a parser error on the IMSTRANNAME function.
- Tolerate the COBOL SIGN LEADING SEPARATE clause.
- Support the AT-TLS ResetCipherTimer parameter on TLS connections between z/OS and Linux.
- Add a new Boolean engine function ISREFRESH( ) to identify CDC records originating from a DB2z dynamic refresh request or an IMS Unload.
- Add new script functions to update multiple and selected target datastores.
-
Replicator (SQDRPL) Engine and Apply (SQDENG/SQDATA) Engine:
- Fix bugs in Avro support for Tombstone records.
-
Replicator (SQDRPL) Engine:
- Fix bugs in AVRO support for Tombstone records.
- The Replicator command line argument
--reader-timeouthas been renamed to--resource-timeout. The former will be retained for compatibility in version 4.1 only, and will be dropped in 4.2. - Support the AT-TLS ResetCipherTimer parameter on TLS connections between z/OS and Linux.
-
z/OS Health Checker:
- Fix reporting bugs and omissions, add new options, and improve report formatting. The Rexx exec HCHKREXX and JCL sample members HCHKDB2 and HCHKIMS are included in the distribution CNTL library.
