The highlights of this release include:
- Integrated Synchronization enhancements
- Disable query acceleration automatically for suspended tables
- Execute ALTER TABLE DATA CAPTURE CHANGES in Db2 for z/OS as part of the table enablement step via stored procedure ACCEL_SET_TABLES_REPLICATION, Data Studio or Data Server Manager
- Distribution and organizing keys can now be changed for archived tables (Technical preview)
- Db2 Analytics Accelerator as replication target for IBM Change Data Capture (CDC) replication (Technical preview)

- Additional "Built-in Function Passthrough" for additional statistical SQL functions to be used in Db2 for z/OS applications
- Improvements specific to Accelerator on IBM Z
- Support for FCP/SCSI boot disks. In addition to data pools, boot disks can now be FCP/SCSI disks as well (for both, single and multi-node deployments)
- The disk space used for synopsis tables has been reduced by reducing the tablespace extent size
- New administration user interface layout with consolidated data node log messages for multi-node deployments
- Network test option to diagnose connection problems
