An enhancement to allow switching the character type handling method for retrieving multibyte data from char and varchar types in the ODBC connector by using an environment variable.

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...

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...

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...

Dark mode option for the screen.

Staying hours in front of the screen is pretty exhausting for the eyes of fraud analysts. An option to turn it in dark mode will help to lower the stress on the eyes. Also colors will be more visible.
