Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux Versions and Data Sources and Targets

On 64-bit Opteron and EM64T machines, PowerExchange supports the following 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions for bulk data movement and CDC:

Version 8

Version 7.4

Version 6.5

Support is provided for both physical machines and virtual machines using Vmware ESXi v4.

The following table lists the supported data sources or targets on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

Data Source or Target	Data Source or Target Versions	Bulk	CDC
Db2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows	11.5 11.1 10.5	X	X (sources only)
Flat file	-	X	Not supported
MySQL Enterprise Edition and Community Edition¹	8.0 5.7	Not supported	X (sources only)
Oracle	19 c ² 18 c ² 12 c R2²	X	X (sources only)
PostgreSQL	13. x 12.1 11. x 10. x	Not supported	X (sources only)
SAP S/4 Hana	2. x	Not supported	X (sources only)
1. MySQL Enterprise Edition has been certified with the Informatica-packaged DataDirect ODBC driver for MySQL. MySQL Community Edition has been certified with the MySQL native ODBC driver, which is not shipped with PowerExchange CDC. 2. PowerExchange bulk data movement and PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle provide toleration support for the supported Oracle versions. Toleration support means that PowerExchange can capture data from Oracle sources but does not support any of the new features introduced in 12 c R2, 18 c , or 19 c 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 Linux, you can run the PowerExchange Listener and PowerExchange Logger on the same system or on another Linux system to capture changes from the logs.
