PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs
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
As with standard Linux servers today Secure Proxy should be able to present Host Keys (more than one) in both RSA and ECDSA formats depending on what type the vendor incoming connection supports. Vendors are demanding Host Keys that are stronger t...

Provide QueueWatch Audit data

As part of our effort to more thoroughly track usage in SBI, we need to be able to audit QueueWatch usage. In IBM case TS013772150, we were informed that this functionality does not exist.

Associate CLA2 adapter to specific application node.

It would be helpful to have the command line adapter be assigned to a specific node in a cluster environment like the file system adapters or most of the other adapters are associated to a specific node. This would prevent if a node wasn't running...

There are many screens in SEAS UI that are not documented at all or fully.

A set of SQL queries tied to the Activity Snapshot tool is creating an overhead on the database and could be effectively optimised.

We have an issue with the overhead of a specific set of SQLs in SFG 6.1.1.1. IBM confirmed that these queries have been looked at for version 6.1.1.3 but as we have no details of the changes, we’d like to create an Idea. These are the SQLs seen ru...

ITX should allow the functional map to be opened in the new window.

Right now, while doing mapping in ITXA, if we want to move from one functional map to another or to the main map or vice-versa. The new maps always open in the same window which makes it quite difficult to work with the mapping. especially when we...

ITX Design Studio should have an option to allow users to search based on FUNCTION name or what function does just like what we have in SI Mapper.

Right now, while doing the mapping in ITXA, we need to search the function manually and only by name. There is no search bar or anything which allows us to search based on the FUNCTION name or what FUNCTION does in ITXA. Add a search bar just in S...

ITX Design Studio should show functions while doing the mapping in ITX window the moment we start typing the function.

Right now, while doing the mapping, for every function we want to use we have to manually type that function regardless of the length of that function and this causes issues if even one character is wrong or absent in the function. What I want is ...

[Copy] ITXA - Import mxl maps from SI into SPE

When importing a map from SI into SPE, only the .txo is successfully imported and not the .mxl. This idea would ensure that both the .txo and .xml are imported, and would avoid the manual step of having to separately upload the .mxl to the map in ...
