Resolution
To request a new CA IDMS feature or enhancement, there is a specific mechanism in place. Users need to:
1- Sign on to the CA IDMS Communities site (https://communities.ca.com/community/ca-idms-iua-eiua)
2- On the left side of the screen, you'll see a heading called "categories", click "CA IDMS". If you don't see that, it's probably because you aren't a member of that community yet, or haven't signed up to follow it. You'll need to find the community (CA IDMS IUA EIUA) & join it in order to proceed.
3- Once you are seeing the posts for the CA IDMS Community, you'll see a new option on the left-hand menu bar titled "Actions". Under that you'll see an option "Create an Idea". Click that.
4- A new window will open with spaces you'll need to complete: a "Title" & "Persuasive Content". Then at the bottom please ensure that it shows "CA IDMS IUA EIUA" as the "Publish Location". You can choose a "category" for the idea towards the bottom of the screen if you like, specifying whether this would benefit CA IDMS in general,, Application Developers, or DBAs & Systems Programmers.
5- Once all the above are complete, hit "Create an Idea:" at the bottom of the screen. This will make it visible to the community at large as well as to our development team.
6- If you want to, you can also "Start a discussion" & post it to the Community at large, stating that you have created this idea & urging others to "vote" for it. In general, the more different users that vote up an idea, the faster development will move to implement it.
CA adopted this approach as a way to get a sense of which ideas had broad support in the user community, That helps the development team prioritize requests.
