Supported AIX Versions and Data Sources and Targets

Supported AIX Versions and Data Sources and Targets

PowerExchange supports the following versions of the AIX operating system on 64-bit IBM Power systems for bulk data movement and CDC:
  • 7.2
  • 7.1 TL2 (minimum certified)
For CDC, you must install the bos.adt.debug package to get the libptools_ptr.a library. This library is required to create PowerExchange registration groups and capture registrations. Download the package from the IBM Web site.
The following table lists the data sources or targets that PowerExchange supports on AIX:

that the source database uses, including SCN values greater than 281474976710655. An exception is that Express CDC for Oracle can capture change data from a single pluggable database (PDB) in an Oracle multitenant container database (CDB).
For CDC, if the Oracle redo logs reside on AIX, you can run the PowerExchange Listener and PowerExchange Logger on Linux to capture changes from the logs.
