The EQQSERVER uses memory under 16 MB. If many jobs use the EQQSERVER, we get an S878. To avoid downtime, the number of concurrent connections must be limited. The server task should reject or queue new incoming connections (e.g. a FIFO queue). To...

Allow for the use of 12:xx to be used in time fields

Since moving to v10.1, we have noticed that the Workload Designer does not allow us to use the "twelve o'clock hour" in any of the time fields. This has been tested by our team at stream level as well as within a run cycle, on the earliest start t...

Our company uses Box as one of the primary ways to share files. In an effort to help automate report distribution to some of these customers, it would be nice to be able to use IWS to move files to Box. Since we already connect to the necessary se...

An inconsistency was discovered in the DWC Workload Designer that impacts time fields, such as Earliest Start, Latest Start, Deadline, etc. We are unable to specify any value between 12:01 and 12:59, whether AM or PM. Specifying 12:00 is allowed. ...

IWS v9.4 has a clock icon that displays a selection of times when setting up time restrictions on a job stream. IWS v10.1 does not have the same functionality.

The clock icon that displays a selection of times is useful when needing to quickly select the time, especially for people working in different time zones/countries. It should work exactly how it does in IWS v9.4, rather than having to manually en...
