IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. 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).


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:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

    Allow %ERROR to evaluate a TEST operation directly

    Currently, validating a date, time, or timestamp value requires a TEST operation followed by a separate check of %ERROR: test(DE) *ISO rawDate;if %error; // The value is invalidendif; I would like %ERROR to support evaluating a TEST operation dire...

    BRMS - need method to bulk-expire and or bulk-remove

    While normal BRMS maintenance will expire any number of tapes, there are situations where clients have migrated to new systems and or left a networked BRMS environment without properly addressing the volumes owned by other systems Currently we can...

    Enable GitHub integration with Run SQL Scripts

    This enhancement would allow organizations to create a central repository of SQL scripts that can be shared across team(s) with version control. There is functionality for a SRCPF to keep files, but the 10 character naming constraint can be limiti...

    Piezoelectric–Triboelectric Atomic Layer Deposition Films for Selective Ion Sensors

    PROBLEM: An ALD oxide film can sharpen a sensor's surface chemistry, yet its thickness and composition also shift how mechanical strain and contact generate charge, confounding the ion signal. A sensor that cannot separate a thickness effect from ...

    Piezoelectric–Triboelectric Charge Readout for Layer-by-Layer Heavy-Metal Capture and Recovery

    PROBLEM: Layer-by-layer biosorbent films capture metals through surface carboxyl binding, yet operators cannot tell from the outside when a given stack is loaded, saturated, or ready for regeneration. Flow-through water treatment therefore relies ...

    Surface Plasmon Resonance in Gradient Multilayer Biosorbent Stacks for Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Data

    PROBLEM: Monitoring with a gradient plasmonic stack produces depth-resolved readings, and a compliance record must show which depth produced which value and whether that depth was fresh, regenerated, or degraded. The monitoring workload — sampling...

    Surface Plasmon Resonance in Electrospun Nanofiber Biosorbent Scaffolds for Catalytic Conversion

    PROBLEM: Catalytic nanofiber mats with plasmonic enhancement need reactants to reach the active sites through the fiber network while the plasmonic particles stay in place during reaction and regeneration. If the fibers compact or the particles mi...

    Surface Plasmon Resonance in Atomic Layer Deposition Oxide Layers for Energy Storage Electrodes

    PROBLEM: A plasmonic layer in an energy-storage electrode is an unusual addition: it could report interfacial binding during cycling, but it also adds a metal–dielectric structure that must survive repeated charge and discharge under an ALD oxide....

    Surface Plasmon Resonance in Layer-by-Layer Biosorbent Films for Selective Ion Sensing

    PROBLEM: A plasmonic ion sensor must distinguish the target ion from competing ions that also bind near the metal–dielectric interface, and the LbL film around that interface changes as it swells, fouls, or is regenerated. The field enhancement th...

    Quantum Confinement in 3D-Printed Porous Biosorbent Scaffolds for Heavy-Metal Capture and Resource Recovery

    PROBLEM: 3D printing can create architected pore networks for biosorbent capture, but the printed scaffold must then be functionalized with quantum dots and biosorbent without clogging the designed pores. If functionalization fills the smallest ch...
