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...

1. By default, SSP uses an RU (Resource Unit) Buffer Size of 48K RU when passing through file. 2. When a PNode is sending in Secure+ mode, it encrypts the data into 16k SSLB buffers and stuffs them into an RU. SSP must unload these SSLBlocks and d...

Expose Max Stops property at API request level instead of currently as static, system wide

Allow inventory supervisors the access to stop processing an SLC CR on behalf of the inventory team member that is currently processing the CR, but is out of the office.

It would be useful in the case of an inventory controller being out of the office and a site needs an SLC CR actioned ASAP. It would benefit the flow of production. All inventory supervisors would have access that would enable them to stop process...

ICAP scanning required for files pulled and pushed by Sterling Integrator

Files that are pushed by external vendors are scanned via ICAP protocol in Sterling Secure Proxy. But the files that are pulled by Sterling Integrator are not scanned as they do not pass through SSP. This leaves a big gap in the scanning feature o...

Test and certify Connect Direct to use DFS in addition to UNC paths

Transformation Extender to provide Map Coverage in a similar way Sonar provides code coverage.

Have the ability to import a public and secret key ring into native PGP for B2Bi.

I believe that this functionality would be useful for the user community to be able to import an entire key ring (both public and secret) instead of having to import the keys individually.

Ability to invoke a BP in a specific queue other than its default queue

In order to prioritize processing of certain transactions over others in common BP's it would be useful if we were able to specify a specific queue for an Async BP to be invoked in rather than have it invoked in its default queue.
