Abstract: A method includes reading, by a capture engine, log data. The log data can be synchronously hardware-replicated. The log data reflects that an update was started for a database of a first site. The capture engine corresponds to a capture engine of a second site. The method also includes identifying, by the capture engine, the update. The method also includes determining whether the update was committed to the database of the first site. The method also includes replicating, by an apply engine, the update to a database of the second site based on the determining. The update is replicated to the database of the second site based on a determination that the update was committed to the database of the first site. The committed update corresponds to a consistent replication of updates across two or more databases that reside in multiple database management systems.

Abstract: The capturing of change data of deferred updates begins with the receipt of an update request call for one or more changes to a database. A processing of the update request call is deferred until a commit point is issued, where call information associated with the update request call is determined, and the call information is stored and associated with the update request call. During a processing of the commit point, data information for the one or more changes to the database is determined. The data information for the one or more changes is combined with the stored call information associated with the update request call.
