After an upgrade to Qlik Replicate 2024.5, capturing changes (CDC) for a Table defined on a DB2i Source leads to conversion errors with the NUMERIC Datatypes with precision and scale greater than zero.
Due to a change in Qlik Replicate's new version, this error causes the table defined in the task to have data issues with the value in the target showing 0 and not the correct value present in the Source.
Example: 100.000 (source) becomes 0 (target)
To verify the table defined in the task, have the DDL for the table confirmed, then check locate the below details in the DDL has columns with NUMERIC(15,5) output from iSeries, table in the DB2i Source Environment.
Example:
The number definitions impacted have a SCALE > 0.
So in SQL DDL for the Table has Numeric(5,2), a value like 123.45 will fail conversion and end up as 0.
Resolution
Upgrade to Qlik Replicate 2024.5 SP03 or higher.
Cause
A regression of the 2024.5 version of Qlik Replicate, affecting how the Datatype is parsed from the Journal/Receiver to the Target.
