This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. 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).
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:
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 an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Trace Reporting is foundational to ELM. When a stream is archived, the target artifacts are archived and effectively the source artifacts traced to the archived target artifacts now contain dangling traces. To overcome this limitation, Archived streams should be exposed in reporting. When an archived stream is exposed in Reports it allows the trace reports to show that the targets are to an archived stream. While archived elements are not desired for active traces, including these in Reports allows for cleanup and correction of dangling traces, in case the trace target does not exist in the active stream. Today, the target side of the trace is completely hidden (when the stream is archived) and the dangling trace in effect is unreportable. It is effectively a defect in the trace and the report. NOT GOOD.
So report all artifacts and links, including Archived streams. Allow for optional disabling of Archived elements in Reports. But allow for reporting of archived streams by default such that all elements can resolve, and nothing is hidden.
Consider that child GCs are swapped out continuously in parent GCs leaving some former children GCs (Archived) with active traces, unresolved.
This is a quality improvement and allows for comprehensive reporting instead of partial reporting which leads to confusion in the event traces do not resolve, which is always the case.
