IBM Z Software


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

    Due to a database issue in our Customer Enhancement Request system, it was necessary to modify the Idea Reference field for ideas opened against the IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center. This will only impact ideas whose URLs have been bookmarked by a user within a browser; the creators of the ideas will still be able to find those they opened in the My Ideas section of the portals, the ideas will continue to be associated with any IBM Unified Portal shared group, and all users can continue to find ideas via searching on title and description contents in the portal search bars.

    This change has already been made; users who have bookmarked this idea will find their current bookmark will no longer work and that they need to change the Idea Reference in the URL from CIC-I-nn to ICIC-I-nn.
