You may have seen
a recent announcement on ibm.com that says IBM would no longer be marketing it's older data replication products in 2013. That includes InfoSphere CDC. Why?
And what happens to the CDC technology?
Over the years, IBM provided its data replication technologies
through a lot of different products. For example, IBM used to offer two major
data replication products at the same time -
InfoSphere CDC and InfoSphere Replication Server. That was a little
confusing,
even to some IBM people. To simplify the situation,
IBM consolidated all it's replication technologies into a single product called IBM InfoSphere Data Replication
(IIDR). Once IIDR was available, the older products no longer needed to be sold to new customers. That's why the end of marketing was announced. However, the replication technologies - CDC, Q Replication, and SQL Replication - are still alive and well. You can
continue to use them as you always
have. Of course, you may have two related questions:
- Are the older products still being supported?
- How do you move from your old InfoSphere CDC product to IIDR?
If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments section of this blog.

What about licensing / pricing CDC and CDD products? stay the same?
InfoSphere CDC and InfoSphere CDD pricing and licensing are unaffected by this change. However, you will not be able to purchase InfoSphere CDC after March of 2013. You must purchase IIDR if you want to use the CDC technology for data replication. InfoSphere CDD will still be available to feed DataStage, QualityStage, MDM, etc..
I updated the post to reflect a recent change IBM made about how you get IIDR if you had InfoSphere CDC on UNIX or Windows.
What will happen with CDC on iSeries?
@guillermosjs, IIDR contains IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture V6.2 for i5OS (a.k.a. System i, iSeries). This is listed in the original 10.1 announcement letter for IIDR. If you had the CDC for i product in March 2013 and were current on S and S, you should now see IIDR in Passport Advantage instead of CDC for i. thanks, david (Sorry about the last comment... I have no idea why developerWorks embedded tagging in the text.)
Is IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture V6.2 supported on IBM i Series OS version 7.1 ?
@dmgskcom CDC for IBM i 6.1 FP1 have compatibility with OS 7.1 (SYSI-2192)
Hi. What about supporting latest Windows and SQL Versions (2012 versions ad use of SSD) can I still use CDC (6.5.1.x) or should I install IIDR, in the requirements sections of both product only Win 2008 Versions are listed as supported, no mention of win2012.
