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.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.

The documentation for the APIc Toolkit products:list command suggests this syntax be used:
./apic-slim products:list --scope catalog --server api.ef29-9c0b91ad.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com -o appdev-iam-apic-role-testing -c patmc cfapi-version-list-test
cfapi-version-list-test:1.0.1 [state: published] https://api.ef29-9c0b91ad.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/api/catalogs/d6f9d822-4eb1-4bee-a874-e4d9435b76e3/996475b0-1f42-4484-990e-0a0701933413/products/e4b9bd6a-9596-4b02-bc48-ea728c951f4a
cfapi-version-list-test:1.0.0 [state: published] https://api.ef29-9c0b91ad.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/api/catalogs/d6f9d822-4eb1-4bee-a874-e4d9435b76e3/996475b0-1f42-4484-990e-0a0701933413/products/40b71c9a-d1a7-487f-a774-7bce6d436e80
The ability to understand what the state of a specific product version is a requirement for the creation of robust CI/CD scripts for Product/API management. The products:get command accepts a product:version parameter, but that command does not provide state information (e.g. published).
An "undocumented feature" in the APIc Toolkit allows for the use of a parameter that includes both product name and version [as product/version], with the desired results in the response:
./apic-slim products:list --scope catalog --server api.ef29-9c0b91ad.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com -o appdev-iam-apic-role-testing -c patmc cfapi-version-list-test/1.0.1 --output - --fields title,version,state
title: cfapi-version-list-test
version: 1.0.1
state: published
This "undocumented feature" should be documented. As part of that, adding the ability to use the same syntax seen elsewhere in the APIc Toolkit, to the products:list command (e.g. product:version), should be considered.
NET: Good CI/CD scripts require this function; clients would like to know this capability is supported by having it described in the APIc Toolkit documentation.
Note: This RFE was opened as part of an IBM Cloud support conversation with a client team that uses APIc and manages their environment using smart CI/CD scripts. Created here as this RFE needs to be visible to that client, and possibly others, so that they may vote for it.
