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.

ACS 5250 Screen History Archive enhancement: include /PLUGIN to convert images to folder

Screenshots are an important part of audit evidence and defense for internal and compliance audits, as well as step by step procedural training
The ability to export images from screen history archive is already a very useful tool for supporting these tasks.
It is my desire to have a /PLUGIN for this export so that the process can be automated into a batch or script file.
This request can be associated with 123233 & 153844


Use Case:

Step through a compliance evidence process with Screen history archive active.
End the archive to generate the %System%.history file.
Execute script to automagically convert images to a file path.
java -jar /ACSPATH/acsbundle.jar /PLUGIN=SCAIMAGE (or whatever name) /%HisoryArchivePath% /%ArchiveImageFolderPath%

continuation of script to import images into a document file for procedural training or compliance evidence.
