IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Full package support for Restful services

A restful service contains one and only one SQL statement and is, simply put, a mini-static package. It was delivered with a couple of problems. Firstly, the only way to tell if this static package is a restful service is to look at the HOSTLANG column not the TYPE column which you would expect. OK I can live with checking an extra field but then the worst, and second pain point, is that there is no support for EXPLAIN(ONLY). These restful services have access paths and we must be able to extract and check these without effecting running systems by doing a BIND SERVICE. Naturally there is also no REBIND SERVICE as all we got were BIND and FREE.

Long story short: Make restful services the same as static packages

    Hi!

    As I wrote the TYPE column is wrong but I do not really card about that...

    The pain point is the missing EXPLAIN(ONLY). For any static package you can issue an EXPLAIN(ONLY) to get a full explain of the all the statements within. You cannot do this for restful services which is a serious loss of functionality.

    Cheers

    Hello Roy, The Db2 for z/OS development team reviewed this enhancement request and has the following feedback for you:

    There are at least 2 features being requested.

    1. Adding a new special catalog SYSPACKAGE TYPE value for REST packages, is declined.

    2. "Make restful services the same as static packages" - this is a general statement. Can you identify other items that you think are lacking or are missing from our native rest services?

    Can you modify this idea, or add an idea for the EXPLAIN(ONLY) function to ensure clarity on the expectation of what we'd consider delivering?


    Thank you,

    The Db2 for z/OS Development team
