Cloud Management and AIOps

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 enhance a 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 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 offering manager team 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 notifications 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.

Please use the following category to raise ideas for these offerings for all environments (traditional on-premises, containers, cloud):

  • Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management

  • Cloud Pak for Network Automation - incl Orchestration and Performance Management

  • Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps - incl Netcool Operations Management portfolio

  • Edge Application Manager

  • IBM Observability with Instana

  • ITM-APM Products - incl IBM Tivoli Monitoring v6 and Application Performance Monitoring v8

  • Workload Automation - incl Workload Scheduler

  • Tivoli System Automation - inc Tivoli System Automation Application Manager (SA AM), Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP)

ITM for Omegamon (TEPS functionality) should support passphrases

ITM 6.3.0 FP7 SP2/SP5 does not support passphrases.

Currently ITM limitations are as follows:

1) up to 50 characters

2) For Distributed system, the acceptable characters are as following -

For tacmd login those characters are between the brackets { }:

{-A-Za-z 0-9_#‌$@.}

3) For TEPS login those characters are between the brackets { }

{-A-Za-z0-9_ .://}

So acceptable characters are common ones between 2 and 3 which means a very small character set

Omegamon Mainframe has full passphrase support depending from security system definition rules.

Please see APAR OA57133


Teps is TEPS running on a distributed system and is managing Mainframe systems.
Login has to be possible by userids which are synchronized between distributed and mainframe systems.

Therefore it's necessary that ITM supports passphrases analogous to mainframe possibilities including special characters and blanks.

Rules have to be same between TEPS login and TACMD login (usually done by the same userid!)

    Hello,

    I described very detailed what is status quo and why this does not meet the requirements for "passphrase support".

    I referred to the passphrase functional scope of Omegamon Mainframe and requested the same level for ITM.

    What's vague there?


    Regards

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/om-shared?topic=SSAUBV/com.ibm.omegamon_share.doc_6.3.0.2/common/new_ombase_ptfua98944_aparoa57133.htm
    I'll check with the team to see if this definition is enough. The request from the customer is vague unless we review this link. Otherwise, in the case TS005549544 I only see "....But that does not mean passphrases (including Upper/Lower Case, Blanks and special characters)."
