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.
The idea behind this is to allow alt.comm.outbound to be triggered for other situations. Such as TCP timeouts after a session had been initiated.

How will this idea be used?
A new parameter in the netmap entry can be used in a list format such as the ciphers are used to allow certain types of errors to trigger the alt.comm.outbound. |

The SSP is on the remote side. Because they were having issues alt.comm.outbound was not triggered therefore we took a production outage. This also would not pertain just to the remote node being a SSP.
Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed the request with my development team. Given your use case we don't believe that an alt.comm.outbound change would provide the capability that you are seeking. Since Sterling Secure Proxy is involved in this connection this capability would need to be handled in the SSP configuration instead of directly in C:D. Because of that I will need to reject this request, but I would suggest opening an enhancement request with the SSP team to see if they might be able to meet your needs. Thank you for taking the time to open this request and please don't hesitate to open a new one if you think of additional enhancements.
Sincerely,
Chris Sanders
