Is Attunity Server (Qlik Replicate) V5.3.4.0 compatible with DB2 V12 FL 500?

Hi @jdvan123 

Can you please confirm the version of Replicate you are running? We did not publish a version 5.3, we went from version 5.2 to version 5.5 (these versions came out a few years back). I did check our most recent release, version 2022.5, and it does support DB2 V12 source on z/OS.

Thanks,

Hi @jdvan123 

I found it, you're referring to the version of AIS (Attunity Integration Suite). I will check on this and follow up with you. Please also let me know the full version number of Replicate that you're using.

Thanks,

Dana

Hi @jdvan123 

You might be able to use a native endpoint to connect to your source. What platform is DB2 hosted on in your environment?

Thanks,

Dana

Hi @jdvan123 

Here is a link to consider if you would like to use the Db2 z/OS Native Endpoint.

Hello @jdvan123 , copy @Barb_Fill21 , @Dana_Baldwin , @lyka ,

There are many benefits of migration to Qlik Replicate (rather than using Qlik/Attunity AIS):

1. AIS is out of support;

2. Qlik Replicate support end to end replication, AIS is a middleware which needs 3rd party ETL tool cooperation

3. Qlik Replicate support DDL , AIS does not.

4. Qlik Replicate needs a very lite component on Mainframe, AIS component on Mainframe is a fat AIS Server.

5. Qlik Replicate is easy use, drag/drop to design a task quickly in GUI by simple steps. In AIS Studio configuration a project/solution is pretty complex.

6. Qlik Replicate provides error/warning notification emails, resource control, transformations (in column level, table level, global level ) ... so many new features/enhancement while AIS does not contain these abilities.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

John.
