We are doing a HW refresh and also changing the OS which we are running our instances on.
Since v8.1.13 they have added a new feature for replication through stgrules. [1]
Currently we are running v8.1.14.200 and have started to use this stgrule and planned also to do cleanup of SDRC table afterwards. [2]
Perhaps not so surprisingly (since it is a new feature relative to the version we are running) we are facing several issues with this; to name a few - we cannot cancel it, sessions seem to be hanging on source side if we restart target server and having to restart instances constantly to cancel the process.
Also now after a case ongoing with IBM they seem to think that we might be hitting this issue - IT42566; I see there that there is a fix for that in v8.1.18.
I also see however that there are some APARs for 8.1.18 which are not fixed yet that would affect the same stgrule: IT43604 & IT43605.
So wanted to post here and ask have anyone here have started using it; if so which version are you running and what are your experiences with it? The reason I am asking that is because we have to consider doing an upgrade or perhaps going back to protect stg/replicate node.
