Custom property restriction by Categories that applies to Categories

There are multiple cases where we have a need to restrict Category Custom properties to be shown/not shown
about 1 year ago in Cloud Pak for Data / Watson Knowledge Catalog 1 Delivered

When adding a collaborator (user) to a category, the "role" column is too narrow - make it broader by default, or allow users to widen it with a mouse

Our role names are sometimes long, and now the dropdown list truncates the names and user is left guessing what to choose. See attached picture. I know they can use the search to narrow down the options... but there is lots of unused space on this...

Whenever you offer 'Export to PDF' allow also export to csv (or some other computer-readable format)

PDF is fine as a document of its own, for sharing/documenting as a static copy. However, if we would try to further refine the info and join it with something else, then pdf is useless. Trying to extract same info from reporting database would be ...

Enhance the MDI scope configuration to retain previously selected tables when updating the scope.

Currently, when users configure the MDI scope and select specific tables, they must reselect all tables each time they update the scope. This process can be tedious and time-consuming, especially for users working with large datasets. By implement...

Parameter to suppress the generate of Grant Statements in Db2 Cloning Tool

When we clone tablespaces from a production to a test Db2 system we would like to suppress all authorizations on the target objects (e.g. tables, views), because users don't possess the same privileges in these two environments. At this time cloni...

Resolution of Indoubt threads on Target after cloning

Hello IBM, The current version of Db2 Cloning Tool v3.2 does not support the automatic resolution of INDOUBT threads on Target if the cloning had happened when there were inflight transactions on Source. This causes the Target subsystem start to f...

Provide a flag for Cloning tool to unload/Load tables having RI

Currently, the Cloning tool does not Unload/Load tables that have RI defined on them. This is despite the fact that these tables become eligible for Unload / Load due to legitimate reasons like Source Target Mismatch where Source defined as a Simp...

Versioning of packages

All CKZ-Packages of Cloning Tool should be bound with versioning (like the packages in AdminTool). This would simplify fallback-Szenarios (=> no rebind necessary) and the rollout of a new version (=> packages can be created before activation).

Support of ICF-catalogs on target vols when source of subsystem cloning is SLB RFE 83425

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=83425 To use SLBs for backup/recovery it's neccessary to place the ICF-catalogs on the same volumes as DB2-data. But so far cloning-tool doesn't support handling of ICF-cata...

DB2_GENERATED_ROWID not treated correctly RFE 45902

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=45902 in tables with LOBs DB2 generates an additional column DB2_GENERATED_ROWID which is placed at the end of the table. If you add some columns by ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN t...
