Need an efficient feature, or path (e.g. API endpoint) to export Raw Flow data from SevOne for consumption over Kafka. SDB does this, but only for metrics. Attempts to use SevOne-act (as a way to work around the SDB limitation) result in long export times, would not scale, and would not be supported by IBM.

For SevOne customers using a Data Lake architecture, who want to store/process Raw Flow data, for downstream security or other analysis/anomaly detection would find this highly valuable.

Search for objects that use another object

In our old workload automation software, Automic, the GUI provided a function called "Search for Use." This would allow you to select an object, for example a Run Cycle Group, and list all of the other objects (Job Stream) that reference that Run ...
