Q Replication to Kafka Targets

Kafka evolves as a platform for real time data streaming, analytics, and event processing. For enterprise customers the challenge is to let data originating on IBM z flow to Kafka. Popular options are Kafka APIs, MQ, data replication. Only data re...

Rename Foreign Key

Up to now a RENAME FOREIGN KEY is only possible by dropping and re-creating it, thus asking for a CHECK UTILITY to be run.The enhancement of the ALTER to a RENAME would make those actions superfluous and would be much faster.

Ability to hide individual PAW tabs

We regularly build PAW tabs that are accessed through Action Buttons for purposes of a special form entry, editing assumptions, administrative model control, etc. However, when a user accesses the PAW book we don't necessarily want these tabs show...

Ability to specify NetBackup Copy Number on nzrestore operations

With multiple CP4D appliances, and multiple NetBackup Media Server Clusters, it would be beneficial to be able to specify the NetBackup Copy Number on nzrestore operations to match that of the most local NetBackup copy. For instance, CP4D applianc...

Allow Exploration views to accomodate larger views to eliminate double scroll bars (minimum 60 columns vs current 30)

bsub should accept a cpu_efficiency parameter to allow cpu over-commiting in the pool

It's rare for a job to achieve close to 100% cpu efficiency. Often, jobs have a peak cpu requirement during its execution lifetime but use less cpus in average. If bsub could be told that a job is expected to run with a given cpu efficiency, LSF c...
