Enables your database for Change Data Capture (CDC).

Syntax

proutil db-name -C enablecdc 
     area table-areaname indexarea index-areaname 
     [ deactivateidx ]

Parameters

db-name
The name of the database where you are enabling CDC.
areatable-areaname
The name of the area where your Change Tracking Table (_Cdc-Change-Tracking) will reside. The area must be a Type II area, and must be created prior to enabling CDC. Progress Software recommends that you create an area exclusively for the Change Tracking Table.
indexareaindex-areaname
The name of the area where the indexes of your Change Tracking Table will reside. The area must be a Type II area, and must be created prior to enabling CDC. Four indexes are created for the Change Tracking Table (_Change-Sequence (primary), _Part-Rec-Id, _Policy-Id, _Tran-Id). Progress Software recommends that you create an area exclusively for the Change Tracking Table indexes.
deactivateidx
Add deactivateidx to disable the non-primary indexes of the Change Tracking Table. If deactivated during this enablement, the indexes can be activated at a later time with one of the index utilities (IDXBUILD, IDXACTIVATE,IDXFIX).

Successful execution of ENABLECDC makes your database ready to create CDC policies for capturing change data.

Note

ENABLECDC is an auditable event, if your database is enabled and configured for auditing.
