During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...
PINNED Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA

Currently, we have CM installed on 4 servers and the configs are written to the local drive. If something were to fail on the active node, there is a manual fail-over process to not only copy the configs to another node (might not be possible if i...

Display fulfillment overrides information in Node Availability API output

If a node is disabled for a given delivery method the availability will show 0 but there's no context of why it's 0. Displaying fulfillment overrides information in output will allow callers of the API to distinguish between not having available i...

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.

Ignore case sensitivity when posting to add servers via API. Duplicate servers are currently not checked via case.
