During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...
PINNED Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA

We have a client use case where we need to relax validations in order to allow denied claims to flow through that requires us to validate on SNIP 1, 2 and 7 (i.e. bypass SNIP 3 and 4). This is because denied claims might fail on SNIP 3 and 4 and h...

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...

The ability to monitor the time frame when no activity has happened.

There are times when Sterling File Gateway gets stuck and stops processing files but no alerts are generated etc. I would like to be able to monitor for no activity and when no activity has been detected in X time to be able to raise and alert/snm...

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...
