Ability to trigger the Supply or Demand buckets inventory picture for an item on demand/need basis

Ability to view Secure Proxy configurations via Control Center

When the Sterling Secure Proxy platform is connected, need to be able to view the connection information contained within the environment, similar to what is available for Connect:Direct connections. Being able to view the audit log for changes is...

Propagate configuration via batch

This new idea is to request that Sterling Control Center Director allow configuration propagation, in this case from Connect:Direct (userfile, netmap, InitPams, Secure+), via Batch, and not just via the graphical interface.
