Please log the number of bwaits processed per minute in "badmin perfmon view" and the current number of bwait's queued in "badmin show status"

Currently, we can see the number of total bwaits that have gone into the system since we have command debug logging enabled, but we have no easy way to know how many wait's are queued up or what the throughput of bwait commands are. We would use t...

Ability to copy values from a list, crosstab, etc in Cognos 11

The new interactive viewer in CA does not allow the ability to copy values from a list, crosstab, etc. Sometimes it's very important copy a value from a particular line of a report. It would be great if this functionality were added.

Add data masking support for BLOB columns

We have some RTF data loaded into the new DB2 Warehouse environment as a BLOB column in table UDF_CIS_RAW_DV.SXACDCLIENTDOCDETAILTEXT_GUID_DETAILTEXT and we're able to extract it back into an RTF by casting the DetailText field as varbinary, but w...
