Allow replication from Kafka as a source

It would be good to support replications from Kafka as a source to other targets. This idea might sound strange if this were the only replication happening, but this could be part of a "cascading" replication, e.g. if data is replicated from Db2 t...

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...

Tool needs to have memory of the object searched

If I go into view the catalog object. Let's say environment UNIT for table XYZ then back out to switch environments the tool should remember what I searched on last. Or even better be able to switch Db2 groups on the search panel and not have to g...

Fields added to EXCLUDED FIELDS on an object should be removed from UI

Currently, fields that are not used or created by accident need to be removed from each profile and excluded from the schema. If you fully exclude a field from the reporting schema then it is still present in the UI but will throw errors to the us...

Allow indexes to be made invisible to queries

When removing unused indexes the first step we want is to be able to make index invisible to queries similar to the Oracle feature. As the index is still being maintained the rollback to make the index visible to queries is quick.

default path to save new report

For new reports, Cognos Analytics always default the save path to location of the latest data source used in the report. This default option is not convenient in our environment as we keep separated Data Sources and Reports in different folder str...
