WHAT’S NEW
This is to update you about the release of Replication Server version 7.5.1. Replication Server provides a robust solution for synchronizing data from or to non-Postgres databases to or from Postgres databases, as well as, between Postgres databases.
Highlights of this release include the following:
Bug Fixes
-
Fixed an Oracle shadow table cleanup issue by adding the ability to set a threshold period via the TX_MONITOR_PENDING_THRESHOLD_TIME parameter. [Support ticket # 88095]
- Fixed an issue that causes the removal of certain manually created views with a constraint dependency from the target subscription database on execution of re-snapshot. [Support ticket # 89491]
- Fixed an issue in the upgrade routine that causes a NumberFormatException error while upgrading from version 6.2.18 to version 7.5.0. [Support ticket # 92056]
- Fixed an issue that causes an ArrayInexOutOfBoundsException error and prevents publication server start-up while upgrading from version 6.2.15 to version 7.5.0. [Support ticket # 91588]
- Fixed a corner case issue that results in data loss during replication from a SQL Server publication database when the transaction size exceeds the txSetMaxSize value. [Support ticket # 92797]
- Fixed the packaging to add the ability to specify different JAVA_HEAP sizes for the Publication and Subscription servers. [Support ticket # 92552]
- Fixed a Data Validator issue where NUMERIC(n,0) data type columns in Postgres were being represented as non-integer values when comparing the data in these columns to the corresponding INT, BIGINT, SMALLINT, or BIT data type columns in SQL Server, which are represented as integer values.
- Fixed an issue that causes replicateDDL to fail when using the mssql-jdbc driver with SQL Server Publication database.
- Increased the default JAVA_HEAP size for the publication server to reduce the possibility of OutOfMemoryError errors when default settings are used.
- Fixed the issue where invalid values could be supplied when specifying a column mapping. A validation of the specified column name is now performed and will throw an error if the value is invalid.
