    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...

    Please certify the product IBM Data Replication IMS for z/OS Remote Source to run on zCX and/or Red Hat Openshift

    We’ve achieved excellent results with the Db2 for Remote Source product, as it has significantly reduced CPU usage on the mainframe—an area where traditional data replication has historically been one of the top resource consumers. With the introd...

    AVRO messages should have an AVRO response for consistency with the rest of formats.

    All the response formats to incoming messages in MCI,KMI, etc. are in the same as the input, so xml will be responded as xml, json will respond json, and so on except AVRO. For AVRO incoming messages the response provided by Safer Payments is XML ...

    Model creation with data not empty selection by default

    There is an error for computation of IRF if the model has been trained with empty values data. We would like that by default only records with non empty values that are selected for model generation should be used for training IRF.

    Mutual TLS/SSL for the AVRO Schema Registry Connection

    Currently, the connection to the AVRO Schema Registry supports SSL/TLS connection but not mutual, using client certificates or other ways to authenticate the client system. It should be possible, the same way it is for the rest of connections, MCI...

    Remove the Privileges tab in IBM's Unified Management Server for z/OS

    We use RACF as our external security manager for Db2 authorizations. Using the “Privileges” tab shows the internal Db2 permissions. We have two issues with this functionality : 1) We consider this a security exposure. We do not allow anyone that s...

    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...
