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.

RELATED IDEAS

Provide .NET Standard 2.1 compliant nuget for use with Entity Framework 6.4+

Support,

We currently are converting our applications to .NET Core.

Microsoft provided a .NET Standard 2.1 compatible version of EF starting with EF 6.3 and continuing with EF 6.4.

The issue however is we are having issues getting your latest EF 6 driver (6.1.1 available from passport advantage site only).

It seems that your 6.1.1 driver is not .NET Standard 2.1 compatible.

We really need your EF 6.1.1 nuget package to be updated for .NET Standard 2.1 so that we can use it in .NET Core applications.

Perhaps there is a way to get it working now?

I have included a sample .NET Core application I am attempting to get working but get this message:

'The store type 'integer' could not be found in the SqlServer provider manifest'

Attached is the sample application I am attempting to get working.

 

See Case # TS003120433 for more details.

    From the answers, I am getting nobody has any idea about the status of .NET Core 3.x DB2 EF client, which worries me because it takes IBM years to update anything for .NET.  And .NET Core 2.2 is not supported anymore and there is no DB2 .NET client for .NET 3.1 so we are stuck with .NET 2.2 and developing applications for .NET Core 2.2 or .NET 4.8 or going to Java, maybe that's what IBM wants.

    Yes, Please. I do not understand why IBM is not supporting .NET Core 3.x - It runs on Linux.

    IBM has .NET Core 2.2 DB2 EF, but it does not work with .NET Core 3.x and I would like to run my .NET apps on Linux. Microsoft's recommendation is to develop new applications in .NET Core 3.x, but you can't if you are using DB2 as the backend.
