We have 2 MSSQL production servers synced by transactional replication. For reasons not under my control we can not enable CDC on the production servers. Instead, we have a third server synced by transactional replication that we would like to enable CDC on - we have another framework that needs to read the CDC tables for our real-time pipeline.
We set this up yesterday, but it seems that the CDC tables on the third server are not being populated by the transactional replication operations. After 12 hours, there are no entries... we should have 100,000s of records. So, first question: Is it possible for CDC to track changes created solely by a transactional replication subscription? If so, how do we do this? We can easily get transactional replication working. And we have in the past easily gotten CDC enabled and working by itself.
