Replication of large object (LOB) datatypes (BLOB and CLOB) is supported directly by MainframeConnect DirectConnect for z/OS Option.
Additionally, Replication Server cannot send an DB2 UDB binary value as a binary string because the MainframeConnect DirectConnect for z/OS Option database gateway performs an ASCII to EBCDIC translation on the value. Therefore, all binary or varbinary datatypes replicated to DB2 UDB for z/OS must be mapped to the rs_db2_char_for_bit or rs_db2_varchar_for_bit datatype.
