APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Subscription may not stop via scheduled end by time if database
    is 100% idle and subscription is using shared scrape and has
    found operations in the change log that are past its start
    bookmark and the change log had added all operations from the
    source database log before the source database became idle.
    

Local fix

  • Keeping a dummy subscription running all the time. The dummy
    subscription would have one table and no operations are ever
    performed on it, so there is never anything to replicate. This
    will keep the shared scrape parser running constantly.
