The following restrictions apply to PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle:
PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle does not support the following Oracle environments, objects, and features:
Any type of encryption of tablespaces other than Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) of tablespaces.
Tables in a sorted hash clusters
Columns that use TDE
Virtual columns, which contain derived data that Oracle does not log in the redo logs
Columns that have unsupported datatypes
Because you cannot include these columns in capture registrations, PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle does not capture change data for them. However, PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle can capture change data for other columns in the same registered table.
PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle does not capture the following types of operations:
Direct-path INSERTs
INSERT AS SELECT, MERGE, and PL/SQL FORALL operations that use the APPEND hint or parallel mode
SQL*Loader direct-path loads
CREATE TABLE...AS SELECT operations
PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle can capture data that the SQL*Loader utility loaded into Oracle tables with the following restrictions:
The load type must be
conventional path
.
The load method must be Insert, Append, or Replace. Do not use Truncate. If you use Truncate, the SQL*Loader issues TRUNCATE TABLE DDL. PowerExchange cannot capture row deletions that result from TRUNCATE TABLE DDL.
If a PowerExchange Express CDC source instance has redo logs on a RAW device and the logs are
not
managed by ASM, the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows and database row tests fail when they try to process the logs.
If a source table contains LOB columns that are defined with the STORE AS SECUREFILE storage parameter, PowerExchange Express CDC for Oracle cannot capture change data from these LOB columns but can capture change data from the other columns in the table.
