DBMOVER Configuration File

The DBMOVER configuration file contains the following new parameter:

PG CAPI_CONNECTION: New
. PowerExchange 10.5.5 adds the REPLSLOTNAME parameter to the PG CAPI_CONNECTION statement.

REPLSLOTNAME={slot_name| pwx_repl }: New
. Optional. Specifies the name of the replication slot to use. A replication slot name can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore (_) character.
If the replication slot does not exist, it is created with the name you specify for this parameter.

If you do not specify a name, the default name of pwx_repl is used.

If Azure Database for PostgreSQL or Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is detected, PowerExchange will create a wal2json slot.

This parameter also allows you to use multiple replication slots. For example, you can define a slot for the PowerExchange plugin and a wal2json plugin for comparison testing purposes.
