Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, 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 Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative 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 Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, 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.

Batch Documentation

The documentation for the batch framework behaviour is vague or incomplete.

There appears to be no documentation of the parameter ChunkMainParameters.processUnProcessedChunks
A description of the use case for this parameter can be found in the APAR http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PO00520 , however having this information in an APAR is not the correct location for this detail and it should be added to the official documentation for usage of the Batch framework.


The documentation for ChunkMainParameters.unProcessedChunkReadWait reads:
“The ChunkMainParameters.unProcessedChunkReadWait parameter controls the
wait time when re-scanning to detected unprocessed chunks once all the
chunks have been handed out to streams. Because this value typically has to be
tuned for productive use, so that the value is sensible relative to the transaction
time for each chunk, it is typically exposed as an EnvVar with a sensible default
value.”

The provided unProcessedChunkReadWait documentation is missing information:
• why this property is needed
• what happens after the wait is finished
• what are the consequences of setting it to an incorrect value.
I.e. It fails to explain meaning and importance of this field.
