Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Rational Synergy 7.2.2 & Change 5.3.2 - Compatibility with RHEL8

We will use Rational Synergy 7.2.2 and Rational Change 5.3.2 on RHEL7 but some of our clients absolutely wants to use RHEL8 for security reason.
Currently, Synergy 7.2.2 is not certified compliant with RHEL8, could you add this compliance certification in your roadmap in a near future (next fix pack) ?
