The following replication limitations exist with an IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS replicate data server:
Replication of large object (LOB) datatypes (BLOB, CLOB, and DBCLOB) is supported over a gatewayless connection using MainframeConnect for DB2 version 15.0 or later.
Replication of large object (LOB) datatypes (BLOB, CLOB, and DBCLOB) is not supported directly by Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option.
Replication Server cannot send an IBM DB2 Universal Database binary value as a binary string because the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option database gateway performs an ASCII to EBCDIC translation on the value. Therefore, all binary or varbinary datatypes replicated to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS must be mapped to the rs_db2_char_for_bit or rs_db2_varchar_for_bit datatype.
