    When retrieving multibyte data from char or varchar columns through the ODBC connector, DataStage currently requires the corresponding target column types to be set to nchar or nvarchar, depending on whether the source system handles the data base...

    The level of bundled open-source components should be clearly stated in the Release Notes or Technotes at the time of DataStage release. Additionally, the impact of differences in open-source components on DataStage should also be clearly indicated.

    Currently, there is no mention of open-source components in the Release Notes (e.g. https://www.ibm.com/docs/ja/iis/11.7.0?topic=rn-infosphere-information-server-version-1171-fix-pack-5-releasenotes) or in the installation-related information prov...

    cpd-cli manage command suddenly fails with inconsistent SSL error/timeout when http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy variables are configured

    The failure occurs even when correct http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy variables are configured in the environment and inside the OLM Utils container (olm-utils-play-v3). The OLM utility Python client ignores the configured NO_PROXY values. As...

    DataStage incorporates multiple open-source components. To ensure system stability and operational consistency, any behavioral changes resulting from updates to these bundled open-source components should be managed and absorbed by the DataStage installer. This approach prevents disruptions during system deployment and post-deployment operations.

    Currently, there is no mention of open-source components in the Release Notes (e.g. https://www.ibm.com/docs/ja/iis/11.7.0?topic=rn-infosphere-information-server-version-1171-fix-pack-5-releasenotes) or in the installation-related information prov...

    DEBUG Level logging support across all Cloud Pak for Data services

    At this time we have not standardized the implementation of DEBUG level logging for all CP4D services. Some services support enabling DEBUG level logging but that needs to be done manually through the deployment, ie. "oc edit deployment <deploy...

    OIDC login redirect should be handled rather than producing HTTP 404 errors

    When we use SSO to login with Cloud Pak for Data (software on openshift), we notice that the initial login is very often failing with "404 File not found". If we then browse the hostname again, the CPD UI will then load. The issue stems from the f...

    While NRS is a great product it requires a backup of the database before registering it into a DR server as a valid NRS database. The backup of the database must still occur and be stored. Once stored the backup must be moved to the DR server(s) t...
