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.

Ability to remove LTPA expired tokens

We have issues with WebSphere flooding our error log with LTPA errors. This has caused server performance issues. And recently, an overpayment case generation functionality seemed to be impacted as well.
This occurs when a user forgot to log out of the application and after the LTPA token eventually expired. The same error appears over and over again as WebSphere insists to keep retrying to get a valid LTPA token. The issue goes away if we call the user and ask her to log back into LINKIN again.

We are requesting an enhancement where the code could be changed to stop resending the bad token after it expires. Refer to closed PMR WH00010224 where IBM recommended we submit the enhancement for this issue because we need the ability to remove expired LTPA tokens.

    Hi Amber,

    We are trying to understand what functionality is trying to access the server with expired LTPA token from the browser. We discussed was there anything like a heartbeat for the application OOTB but could not think of anything.

    Have you customized anything OOTB to provide this or have you configured WebSphere to provide such a feature?
    This is not something we have seen in our testing here so we need to try and understand what your application is doing with regards to trying to access the application with these expired LTPA tokens.

    Thank you,
    Shane McFadden, Cúram SPM Product Management team

    In order to evaluate your request, we require that you provide more detail so that we can fully understand this request.

    We would like to see the error messages which you are referring to so that we can determine if they are SPM application error messages or WAS messages.
    Could you provide an example of the logs you are referring to?

    Thank you,

    I attached a document which includes the error logs. We are requesting an enhancement that would stop websphere from retrying the login to get a valid LTPA token repetitively.

    Issue Description
    We are having issues with WebSphere flooding our error log with LTPA errors. This has caused server performance issues. And recently, an overpayment case generation functionality seemed to be impacted as well.
    This occurs when a user forgot to log out of the application and after the LTPA token eventually expired. The same error appears over and over again as WebSphere insists to keep retrying to get a valid LTPA token. The issue goes away if we call the user and ask her to log back into LINKIN again.
    Here is an example of repetitive log stack trace entries, in SystemErr.log

    There is an entry in SystemOut.log corresponding to this error. It just indicates our customized login module was invoked.
    [11/22/19 9:45:08:220 CST] 00000182 SystemOut O ***** LINKIN LOGIN MODULE TRACE SETTING IS SIMPLE :: 2FA IS ENABLED *****
    [11/22/19 9:45:08:220 CST] 00000182 SystemOut O ***** LINKIN LOGIN MODULE TRACE SETTING IS SIMPLE :: ****LINKIN Initialization complete *****
