A DB cfg parameter to set the default tablespace to prevent objects ending up in the wrong TS

When not explicitly set in the CREATE TABLE statement, a newly created table will end up in the last created tablespace. A lot of customers have problems with this for several reasons. They have no control over table placement when using a framewo...

Minor edits should not trigger a workflow

Any workflow adds work. Not all modifications are of equal importance, some the user should be able to do alone. It would be good to be able to define attributes which can be considered of minor importance and those would be just auto-published. O...

Manage TM1 instance administration programatically (on cloud)

Currently on cloud, there is no way to manage the start/stop of TM1 servers programmatically. The only way to stop/start an instance is by going through PAW Administration or schedule an automatic restart by asking the cloud ops. On premise, we ha...

Maintenance page instead of Cognos start page only for standard users, not for admins

If we have problems with Cognos, we want to withdraw access from all users except for admins so data / reports can be tested after successful repairs. The Cognos information banner does not help, because it is overlooked. Furthermore, users can by...

Elasticsearch origin and destination should support proxy

Currently, when SDC is connected to SCH via proxy (Java options http.proxyPort/Host), Elasticsearch origin and destination still try to connect to the Elastic directly, ignoring proxy settings. https://streamsets.atlassian.net/browse/INT-3217 This...

Status change or pending DDL when adding a KEY LABEL to an existing table

When an existing table is altered to add a KEY LABEL to enable encryption on the table, the encryption only takes effect post a Reorg (effectively post a redefinition of the underlying VSAM datasets). So the alter is effectively incomplete until s...

Ability to relate records in same object

We would like the ability to relate/associate records in the same object. For example, we'd like to relate "Issue-1" to "Issue-2" when maybe they don't share a common parent. In this case, we may want to relate them because they are the same issue...

BLU CDE Online REORG

Currently BLU CDE tables only have the RECLAIM EXTENTS option of REORG enabled. This does not physically move rows and therefore REORG cannot reclaim extents unless 100% of the rows in an extent have been deleted (via deletes or BLU updates). Also...
