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.
We need a RPM installation package for Connect:Direct to simple deploy in our Cloud enviroment. The RPM must inform all dependencies for a automated instalation process (like Puppet).

How will this idea be used?
In our cloud enviroment there is no access for users to do installation of products (like Connect:Direct), we must provide a automated script to do all installation process, however in some cases Connect:Direct needs c++ libaries as prerequisites. The idea of a RPM package is to provide every information that is needed to install Connect:Direct for the installation manager easily. |

Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it thoroughly with my team, but unfortunately we don't plan to add support for RPM installation files. We are planning to offer dockerized options in the future however. We expect this will allow streamlined installations across a broader set of operating systems using the same technology and would likely meet your needs as well. Thank you for opening this enhancement request with us and please do let us know if you have other suggestions that we should consider.
Sincerely,
Chris Sanders
Connect:Direct Offering Manager
