This is an IBM Automation portal for Integration 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).
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.

Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request, and apologies for the length of time it has been held in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration status. In reviewing this item, it seems the scheduling aspect of the request is well catered for with current product capabilities ... The Timeout nodes can be configured with a "StartDate" and "StartTime" at which flow propagations should start, using a defined "Interval" between flow propagations, and a specific "Count" of requests as well. The App Connect portfolio also includes a Designer connector named Scheduler (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/cloud?topic=utilities-configuring-your-flow-run-scheduled-times), which can be used in conjunction with ACE Toolkit flows using the Callable Flow technology ... additionally to make this even easier to achieve it is also part of our future technical strategy to make Designer connectors available for use in the ACE Toolkit flow palette. Once the flow has been fired, the PROPAGATE function can be used within a Compute loop to fire an MQGet / FileGet the desired number of times.
Also of interest may be this slightly different slant on a similar concept:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewChangeRequest&CR_ID=46148
Given the product's current capabilities mentioned above, and the additional item APPC-I-168 referenced above, status of this particular RFE is closed.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thanks, a good set of use cases for our MQ nodes. We'll evaluate for the next set of MQ features.
