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. Apologies for the length of time this idea has been in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Although we have not yet managed to prioritise this feature, and despite the solitary vote it has received (which we are quite surprised about), we absolutely still see value in this request. The Records and Elements options provided with the File nodes has evolved since this suggestion was initially raised (whereby we now have ability to identify records in a variety of ways based on fixed length, delimited and streamed parsed record sequences), but it is also true that we have not implemented a read-ahead capability within the FileRead node yet. We will continue to monitor this idea for popularity. Status is maintained as Future Consideration.
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 for raising this requirement. We'd very much like to improve the performance of the file nodes to make more efficient use of file I/O buffering and thus maximising performance, in the manner you suggest. We'll look to schedule for a follow-on release or fixpack.
