ITX offers ADDDAYS, ADDHOURS and ADDMINUTES to Date Time objects. I have a requirement to add seconds, but there is currently no ADDSECONDS function offered to support this. My idea is to make an ADDSECONDS function available in ITX.

ITX Map Trace on B2Bi ProcessData

Currently ITX maps allow storing the Map Trace during the translation in physical location only. Similar to B2Bi Sterling Map status reports, we will require the trace available on ProcessData for error reporting purpose. This can be only the high...

Allow map tests from Design Studio to run against SPE Server

This idea would allow users to run a map test from their locally installed copy of Design Studio on ITXA installed on a server, the same way that we can currently run IBM Mapper tests against Sterling Integrator, and run Design Studio map tests ag...

MapTrace should be written to memory

Currently, there is no equivalent to the SI Map Translation Report when ITX maps are handled. The MapTrace provides similar information in that it can be used to determine the cause for failure, however it is currently only possible to generated t...

Allow ITX to handle Protobuf schemas

ITX currently can support AVRO schemas however there are other schemas that may be used depending on circumstances. One of these is the protobuf schema. Can this be added to the suite of schemas supported by ITX?
