You can activate or deactivate a current Change Data Capture (CDC) policy based on its state—inactive or active—using the Change Data Capture Tables List page. In this page, you can also select current CDC policies in bulk and activate or deactivate them at once.

When activating or deactivating CDC policies, the following guidelines apply:
  • You cannot activate or deactivate a pending or a previous policy.
  • When activating current CDC policies, select only those policies whose state is Inactive as the Change Data Capture Tables List page lists both active and inactive policies.
  • When deactivating current CDC policies, select only those policies whose state is Active as the Change Data Capture Tables List page lists both active and inactive policies.

  1. From the OpenEdge Management console menu, select Database Administration > Go to Database Administration.
    The Database Administration page appears.
