We had some great questions from the audience chat throughout the webinar, comprising of business and technology professionals. Below are the answers to the questions that were top of mind for our audience in the webinar Q&A.
Q: Is there any functionality for Change Data Capture in OneDB to populate real-time changes to another database?
A: OneDB does support IBM Change Data Capture (CDC) currently. Clients can also use Smart Triggers capability that is part of the database.
Q: Is OneDB supported for Unica System DB? Or just a user database?
A: OneDB is the default Unica system tables/DB for cloud native offerings and is supported as system tables/DB for all deployments. OneDB is also the database of choice for Unica user tables/database for cloud native deployments and otherwise, too.
Q: What are the Unica upgrade options available to upgrade from the existing system DB (Oracle/SQL/Db2) to OneDB?
A: We do offer to help with database migration services to help migrate from Oracle/Db2/SQL to HCL OneDB. Using migration scripts and skills within the HCLSoftware services team makes it easier to migrate to OneDB.

A: Yes, definitely. We “Kandoo” it!
Q: Cost of the overhead of Kubernetes etc., do we have to use it?
