    Michael,
    Thank you for taking the time to raise this request to IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) team. We recognize the value this capability brings in supporting regulatory and governance requirements, such as BCBS 239, by enabling standardized data lineage reporting through OpenLineage.

    This RFE has been accepted for future consideration. Adopting OpenLineage as a standard format for exporting flow lineage information aligns well with industry direction and provides a flexible foundation beyond regulation‑specific mandates.

    There is no committed timeline at this stage. We’ll keep you informed as this progresses through future planning cycles.
