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:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Communications Server IP to support SYSLOGD_CONFIG_FILE=DD:<DD-name>

SYSLOGD_CONFIG_FILE parameter is defined as SYSLOGD_CONFIG_FILE=DD:<DD-name> but not documented / supported. This is causing issues with our z/Secure CKFCOLL program as it doesn't recognise this value.

    We are accepting this requirement as an uncommitted candidate. However, if we address it, we will do so with a documentation update. We have no plans to change syslogd behavior.
