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.
For requirements such as exporting inventory data or other non-transactional DB endeavors it would greatly improve performance and generally reduce risk to be able to access the backup DB schema in the production environment from OMS custom code. Note that I envision this schema as pointing to the backup DB in production as it is a copy of production but would point to the live transactional database in lower environment as there isn't a backup DB.
This is the same DB schema that the data extract agents use and for a very similar cause.

How will this idea be used?
Being able to pull data from the non-transactional DB reduces performance risks. |

Currently DB query tool lets the eligible application users to access using the DB query tool. DB query tool pulls the data internally from the backup database. This is sufficed by the DB query tool.
