IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

PAfE - Version updates

PAW and PASS updated regularly by IBM and IBM guidelines are to ensure versions of Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel, Planning Analytics Workspace, Planning Analytics, and TM1 are in conformance with one another.

The process of updating PAfE version requires customer-side maintenance that can be avoid.

My expectation includes:

  1. Automatic update process - Notify end user of available update and allow to download and update PAfE version without PA admin involvements.

    This idea is not currently under consideration. The IBM Planning Analytics team may reevaluate this idea at a later date based on the number of votes it accumulates. The idea can still receive votes while not under consideration.


    It's unlikely that we can implement automatic updates of an Excel add-in. Please note that some version control features have already been implemented for PAfE. Please see: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=SSD29G_2.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cxr.2.0.0.doc/pax_version_control_mechanism.html
