Replication Server 7.6.0 release notes v7
Released: 07 Sep 2023
New features, enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes in Replication Server 7.6.0 include the following:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | EDB Replication Server now supports logging publication and subscription server logs in the English language, overriding the default locale, by way of the logging.default.locale configuration parameter. [Support ticket #89877] |
| Enhancement | The snapshot operation now uses the table-level parallel loading capability. This capability reduces overhead on the source database by using range-based criterion for loading each individual table data chunk instead of a fetch-offset approach. This optimization applies when the table primary key/unique constraint is based on a noncomposite numeric type attribute. [Support ticket # 93360] |
| Enhancement | To help investigate data synchronization gaps, Replication Server’s logging now logs when rows are skipped due to filter criteria. [Support ticket #91296] |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue where metadata from the primary controller database wasn't replicated when a SQL Server or an Oracle publication database is added as a standby controller database. [Support ticket #82050 and #91884] |
| Bug fix | Fixed the issues related to foreign key violations in the standby controller database that prevented upgrading from version 6.2.x to 7.x. [Support ticket #93129, #92056, and #91588] |
| Bug fix | Corrected a few code paths to release unused resources for timely garbage collection and optimized memory utilization. [Support ticket #91588] |
| Bug fix | Fixed a data validator Oracle edge case resulting in a String index out of range error for an Oracle-to-EDB Postgres Advanced Server validation. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue resulting in a synchronization failure for nchar, nvarchar, xml, and sqlvariant when using the mssql-jdbc-10.2.1.jre8.jar file for a SQL Server-to-EDB Postgres Advanced Server cluster setup. |
| Bug fix | Updated database type name references of “Postgres Plus Advanced Server” in the Replication Console and Replication CLI to “EDB Postgres Advanced Server.” |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue that prevented logging of changed configuration parameters at publication and subscription server start or when the reloadconf command is executed. |
| Bug fix | Fixed a regression that led to an Invalid custom column type mapping error being observed for publication tables with no column mapping. |
