Just like the 5250 Emulator, please consider adding the "Tab" feature in the IBM I ACS Schemas tool. Thanks.

Database design and maintenance would oftentimes need to look at database on different partitions. It would be nice to provide DBAs this convenience and not having to open multiple windows.

Provide a smart LIKE keyword that works with any target type (vs LIKE and LIKEDS)

Today when we write code, we use the LIKEDS (mostly) to declare a data structure "like" another. When a field is declared and should be "like" another existing field, we use the LIKE keyword. Please provide a new keyword that can be used in either...

Live Partition Mobility: Allow overrides of CPU and LPAR ID on target CEC

For hosted environments, moving a partition from P9 to P10, for example, is often not at CPU-for-CPU but at CPW-for-CPW (e.g. 15000 CPW = 1 CPU on a 9009-22a but not on a 9105-22a). And LPAR ID is automagically assigned.This is counter-productive,...

Enhance IBM SQL Services to use better "list" parameter parsing

I’d like to request an enhancement to IBM i SQL Services to improve flexibility when passing multiple values to parameters that accept lists. Currently, the following syntax does not work: table(qsys2.active_job_info(subsystem_list_filter=>'QIN...

Security: Add to user configuration option to log in only from selected IP address

Currently, HMC does not allow you to restrict a user's login to a selected IP address. Such an option is available in SSH however it cannot be used on the HMC console. Currently, it is possible to restrict SSH logins (all of them) using the firewa...
