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.

Fix or add a working API to list files in COS

Currently, the Qicc_list_files_in_cloud API in the 5733ICC product (IBM Cloud Storage Solutions for i) is not working, and there is no substitute for a list of files uploaded and/or present in COS.
It is extremely important to be able to verify whether files transferred from IBM i to COS are present and intact, and to know their attributes (creation, saving, modification, and size).

    This is a documented API, if documented IBM i system code is found to be not working, this is an IBM Support case,
    not an Idea." https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.6.0?topic=ssw_ibm_i_76/icc/topics/iccuref_api_getlistcloudfiles.html

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

    Please define "not working". Can you provide an example?

    If documented IBM i system code is found to be not working, this is an IBM Support case, not an Idea.
