The April 2025 release of Data Ingestion and Replication includes the following changed behavior.
Agent Name renamed to Unload Agent Name in monitoring job details for combined load jobs
In the monitoring job details for application ingestion and replication and database ingestion and replication combined initial and incremental load jobs, the Agent Name field in the Object Detail pane was renamed to Unload Agent Name field to specify the Secure Agent on which the initial load portion of the job ran.
In the Overview section of the Task Summary pane, the Agent Name field still displays the name of the Secure Agent on which the combined load job ran.
Updated ciphers for Snowflake connections using the Key Pair authentication method
If you define a connection for a Snowflake target using the KeyPair option as the authentication method, when you generate the private key with OpenSSL 3.x.x version, you can use the AES128, AES128-CBC, AES256, or AES-256-CBC cipher while generating the private key.
Previously, the supported ciphers were PBE-SHA1-2DES and PBE-SHA1-3DES.
Ability to enable case transformation for jobs that have Snowflake targets and use the Superpipe option
When you define target properties for an application ingestion and replication task or database ingestion and replication task that has a Snowflake target and uses the Superpipe option, you can select the Enable Case Transformation option to control the case of letters in the generated target table and column names based on a strategy you select, instead of using the same case as the corresponding source names by default. Previously, this capability was not available for Snowflake targets that use the Superpipe option.
Including Db2 for LUW views as source objects in incremental load and combined load tasks
When you configure database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load tasks that have a Db2 for LUW source and use the Query-based CDC method, you can now include database views as source objects. In the configuration wizard, select the Include Views check box. Views then appear in the list of source objects that can be selected for the task. Previously, the ability to include views was available only for initial load tasks.
Enhanced performance for jobs with Db2 for i sources
The default settings of several internal parameters have been optimized to enhance the performance of database ingestion and replication jobs with Db2 for i sources and reduce their CPU usage.
