PAW must natively include websheets published via PAfE - just as TM1 Web does.

Idea: Tm1Web-like websheet access has to be available in PAW "Reports and Analysis" section for users with "Consumer" role. TM1 Web enables users to access websheets (which have been published via Planning Analytics for Excel) in a hierarchical fo...

Minimize the permissions required to access the API /v2/runtime_definitions?include=launch_configuration

The client's data scientists use that API to increase temporary storage capacity when they need to create (in certain specific cases) a custom runtime with a resource-intensive library (such as LangChain, for example) for the online models they de...

Workload Misplacement Due to Inconsistent Node Affinity Control Impacts Platform Stability

Add network‑level metrics and break latency into source, transport, and target components

Enable continuous, per‑subscription performance statistics and catch‑up estimations

The DB2 z/OS source engine only reports discrete, commit‑based metrics, and many source‑side statistics are available only at the capture level (e.g., log‑cache footprint). As a result, operators have no visibility into subscription‑level read rat...
