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.
Additional performance related timing data required in the audit log on a per-card basis
A change that I would love to see in audit logs is a start time and an end time for each card. The current way of showing timings at the card level – with a “TimeStamp†at each card – is very confusing.  I get the idea that the TimeStamp means different things if it's an input card or an output card – on input cards, it seems that it's a start time (the TimeStamp of input 1 always matches the StartTime at the beginning of the log), but the TimeStamp for output cards is almost certainly the end time, as it jumps on cards that process more data.
For example, a map that has a large amount of input, and where Target 3 does a lot of work on that input, seems to look like this:
         StartTime = 12:00:00
         Source 1     TimeStamp = 12:00:00
         Target 1      TimeStamp = 12:00:10
         Target 2      TimeStamp = 12:00:10
         Target 3      TimeStamp = 12:00:30
That's really confusing. Did the 10 seconds elapse while processing Source 1 or Target 1? Or was it spread out between the two? Was the 20 seconds spent in Target 2 or Target 3? It would be much easier if it looked like this:
         StartTime = 12:00:00
         Source 1     StartTimeStamp = 12:00:00 EndTimeStamp = 12:00:10
         Target 1      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 EndTimeStamp = 12:00:10
         Target 2      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 EndTimeStamp = 12:00:10
         Target 3      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 EndTimeStamp = 12:00:30
…or this:
         StartTime = 12:00:00
         Source 1     StartTimeStamp = 12:00:00 ElapsedSec = 10
         Target 1      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 ElapsedSec = 0
         Target 2      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 ElapsedSec = 0
         Target 3      StartTimeStamp = 12:00:10 ElapsedSec = 30
