IBM Power Ideas Portal

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

Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power 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 and add comments to 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 Power teams 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.

Web service REST - JSON

Good evening,
I created through Web Administration for i, a rest service that receives a parameter containing a JSON string, with numerous defined keys. The web service is associated with a rpg service program, which receives the JSON parameter converted within a Ds.
If the JSON contains an undefined tag in the ds of the RPG the call to the service ends with an error 500. I need of a parameter in the REST service configurator that allows you to ignore the "excess" fields, such as "allowextra" or "allowmissing" of the xml-into command.


Use Case:

In the support case ID associated, you can find a savf, with my case inside. I use only 10 % of the JSON key that are described.

    IBM understands this requirement and will consider it as a future enhancement

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed. We can see how a change like this could improve the use of this function but as you can code around this issue, we feel there are other tasks we would prefer IBM to focus upon in the short term.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Although there are work-arounds, since web services is a key direction for use on IBM i, this RFE should be considered for implementation.
