SSP supports IP or User_Id whitelisting only but not a combo ( IP + User_id). We need to ability to whitelist IPs for a given User_id. This way, if a rouge employee left the firm but carries the user_id credential, he can't login from other locati...

Make (un)zip work in memory like excel adapter

We're working with a MQ-ACE-ITX setup. Being able to use (un)zip in memory would make it possible to work without temp-files to store the data. The excel-adapter has a switch to store/update stuff in memory, a similar way for (un)zip would be great.

Display Starting position of the field in field level properties for "FIXED, IMPLICIT" group/file.

In ITX, when the group is defined as fixed and implicit, to identify a field position most of the time we must sum up the field length of previous fields when there is no layout. This would simplify the identification of field in positional files.
