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 are working with WTX 8.4.1 with launcher on AIX. To deploy from Windows to AIX only FTP is supported in both sdeploy.exe and Integration Flow Designer. It would be more secure if SFTP could be chosen as protocol for transferring .mmc,.msl and user-files.

How will this idea be used?
Our security officers really insist on only using secure protocols between servers as does our infrastructure provider IS4F (who is largely controlled by IBM). It would be nice if IBM's own products are compliant. |

Securely deploy a Launcher system to a remote host
The new ssftpdeploy utility command uses the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to deploy a Launcher system to a remote host.
SFTP Deployment for Integration Flow Designer has been added into the IBM Transformation product with fixpack ITX 9.0.0.3 via command line utility
