New Features
The Db2 Plugin version 3.1.1 introduces the support for full online backups, which are taken using the "exclude logs" syntax. This support is only applicable to the dSources created using the Backup and Logs ingestion mechanism on a single partition.
In Db2, users have the flexibility to exclude logs while taking the full online backups. The Db2 plugin will read the backup header from the user-provided backup file. The backup header is used to figure out whether the backup was taken using the "exclude logs" syntax or not. In case the plugin detects that it was taken using the "exclude logs" option, then the required changes will be made in the restore syntax.
