When a task is processing CDC data, the internal replicate engine uses "Linux iconv" API to convert the incoming delta records. If the conversion fails, following warning and error is displayed in the logs:

2025-07-09T06:44:56:68127[SERVER W: Conversion error 84,CodepageFrom=943, CodepageTo=65001, insize=16, output='', outSize=99(str.c:509)

2025-07-09T06:44:56:70391[SOURCE_CAPTURE]E: Error converting column 'column name' in table 'table name' to UTF8 using codepage 943 [1020112](db2luw_endpoint_capture.c:1321)

2025-07-09T06:44:56:70414[ASSERTION]W:The problematic column value: 

7f7a040a921a: 834F838A815B8358834183628376FCFC | .O...[.X.A.b.v..

7f7a040a922a: 8140814081408140814081408140| .@.@.@.@.@.@.@

(db2luw_endpoint_capture.c:1323)

 

 

Resolution

  1. Convert the data to hexadecimal and identify the characters that cannot be converted and remove those.
  2. Reload the table

 

Cause

The change data converted to hexadecimal contained character value "FCFC", which could not be converted to Unicode.

To validate whether the issue is caused by the data itself, we can also use third-party tool such as DBeaver to check if throws the same error when selecting the data from source DB.
