Replication Guide and Reference

Restrictions When Running the Capture Program

The following actions cause the Capture program to terminate while it is running. Stop the Capture program if you want to perform any of the following tasks:

• Cancel an existing replication source.

• Drop a replication source table.

• Make changes that affect the structure of source tables. This includes changes resulting from data definition language or utilities. Structural changes can compromise the data integrity of the copies.

Other Capture program restrictions are:

• The Capture program does not capture any changes made by DB2 utilities.

• Capture for OS/2 does not support large object and LONG data types.
