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...
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...

Alert the support team when system has not received messages for a specific window of the day

We are looking for a alert that notifies us if no messages are received in the queue. Currently, we have an SST alert for 'Message In,' but it cannot be time-bound — for example, if no messages are received between 1 AM and 2 AM then alert us.

The same Customer List should be used by both BTI and InFlight

Native PGP - Interface level compression setting

In other PGP software you can alter the compression algorithm. In the case of Native PGP, we can only change compression at a global level. Down the road, if a partner requires a certain compression algorithm other than the global one that’s set, ...

Increase PNUM limit to a much higher value (e.g. 1'000'000'000)

PNUM is actually limited to 99999 for most CD implementations. This is very low and has for effect that pnum can rotate very quickly. ICC is for example relying the grouping of CD events on this Process ID (which is a non sense as it's not unique,...

Connect to SMB shares from Sterling B2B Integrator hosted on Unix / Linux

For Sterling Integrator hosted on Unix/Linux OS, there is no direct capability to exchange files with Windows Network Shared folders. The recommended solution from IBM for this is to use a samba client on the Unix/Linux machine and mount the windo...

User Credential Management & Auditability in IV

Current Limitation: IV currently uses a single shared credential for all users. This results in: No traceability of who made specific changes. Lack of role-based access control, as all users have the same level of access (typically edit). Pr...

FTPS/SFTP list command to show folder timestamp

Hold based rescheduling to update ETD/ETS for scheduled order lines

There is a need for an automated rescheduling feature in OM. Especially on B2B, the requested ship date tends to be important and may often change for order line via integration. In these cases the order line should be rescheduled automatically. C...

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 ...
