    Quick Method to Side by Side Compare an Open Source Member

    Provide a quick method to compare a source member opened in LPEX editor window. Current option available is slow because it forces browsing through libraries, source files and members before a source member can be selected. It would be a lot quick...

    Execute Line Commands over Multiple Views of Same Source Member

    Currently, you can only execute line commands within a single view of a source member, which requires you to navigate between different sections of the same code on a single view, and can be time consuming if you have multiple line commands to exe...

    Support for virtualized storage behind EMC VPLEX

    We would like to use PowerVC but we are moving towards an environment where all storage is virtualized behind EMC's Vplex. This is fine for normal OS deployment but I am told PowerVC requires Open Stack drivers and EMC does not have them for Vplex...

    LVM watchdog

    PMR 70988,7TD presents an instance where the LPAR failed due to an LV hang affecting rootvg. The current analysis is that the failure event began with SAS adapter exceptions that were not properly handled, possibly due to APAR IV69522, and so some...

    PEP and any cross-site HMC management of systems in different locations

    We have had multiple customers that have requested a requirement of "knowing the address of the system" rather than that of the problem analyzing HMC. They need to identify the service address of the machine rather than the managing HMC so they kn...

    Push To Client - Save/deploy folder/files

    Most 3rd-party add-on tools for Eclipse (RDi) store their configurations in one or more XML files. It would be great if we could specify certain files and/or folders that should be saved by Push To Client and deployed to the same relative path for...

    Push To Client not saving Key Bindings

    The Push-To-Client feature is not saving customization to the Key Bindings in RDi 9.5. Use Case: Push-to-Client is a great feature for simplifying the roll-out of standard configuration and key bindings would be a natural extension.

    Notification of "Primary" HMC during Schedule Service Information

    A customer expected to receive emails regarding the Scheduled Service Information for VPD, heartbeat, etc. He never received any emails. Reviewing the data shows the HMC he was setting the schedule on was not the primary to the systems. Attempting...

    "Open Declaration" should actually open the declaration

    When doing a "Open Declaration" on an externally defined procedure or field, RDi simply jumps to the line in the existing source where the procedure or field is imported. This is the easy way out and is not very helpful. Use Case: In the case of c...
