IBM Sterling Ideas
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
IBM is transforming its request for enhancement (RFE) process. The purpose of the transformation is to provide a more consistent experience for you to submit requests and to enable IBM product owners to respond to your requests more quickly. For more information click here.
Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you, 1. Post an idea 2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you 3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
B2Bi Rest API is becoming common in several solutions but there is not a proper audit log file or report to verify information like " USER - ACTION / API - TIMESTAMP"
It is difficult to understand what is actually being consumed, by whom and how often.
This lack of information does't not effect the product itself, but create problems to the business, specially in financial and bank industry.

How will this idea be used?
We need a better liberty log file or entries in the B2Bi Audit Report about REST APIs executions. Or a new B2Bi REST API Report. |

Have there been any updates to this missing B2BAPI logging "feature"? We had hoped that the upgrade to 6.0.x might fix this, but that does not appear to be the case. This is still a serious concern for multiple reasons.
Frankly, I can't imagine how the B2BAPI functionality was released without some level of logging available, even if it meant requiring enablement of logging at debug levels. Audit and logging capabilities are extremely important for the majority of organizations and institutions. This lack of logging is both frightening and disappointing. Thank you in advance for making efforts to move the addition of logging functionality forward quickly.
Thank you for participating in the request for enhancement community. We agree that this aligns with our strategy and have accepted this enhancment to our roadmap.
