The IBM Request for Enhancement (RFE) system has been moved from developerWorks to the IBM Data & AI Ideas portal.

Each “idea” submitted can be voted on by users who log in. The number of votes for each particular request is taken into consideration by the IBM Product Development teams when they are planning product enhancements. More votes = higher probability of getting the request fulfilled.

I am reaching out to ask IBM Data & AI solutions users to vote for an existing RFE in the Ideas system, QREP-I-216. This is a replication enhancement to IBM’s Q Replication, for customers using the Oracle QApply.

The Oracle QApply was developed several years ago when IBM was planning to merge Q Replication and InfoSphere Change Data Capture. It enabled customers to replicate from Db2 for z/OS to Oracle without adding a layer of federation (the old method of applying changes to heterogeneous databases).

The user requesting the request has had Q Replication with QApply in production for several years and is asking to have replication monitoring improved.

If you haven’t logged on the Ideas portal, it’s easy, and the homepage gives you access to the enhancement requests as well as each solution roadmap.

For this particular RFE, log in here and click on the button on the left side of the screen to vote.

Thanks for voting!!
