    IWS wizard for creating or updating a web service: give the choice to save it as QSH script

    In a world where CI/CD is more and more important the possibility to have the script creation in a git or similar instead of just creating the service is important to customers with several environments to keep trace of the changes.

    Add Update Version Check to ACS Emulator

    Currently the version update check (when option is enabled) only works from the "main screen". Add an option to perform the test when the emulator is started. Outside of developers, most users have a limited number of IBM i servers to connect with...

    Add the "Share Open Data Path" attribute to the QDBRTVFD API

    allow QSYS2.CHANGE_IOP to reset all IOPs

    As an administrator, I need to be able to take control of an interactive 5250 session.

    We have situations where users either get interrupted, walk away from their screens, go to lunch or home. When this happens, other users are affected and their jobs either hang or get aborted with an error message due to a record lock or file with...

    Allow TEMPLATE keyword for standalone fields

    The template keyword allows data structures to be defined as a custom complex type simply for the purpose of defining other data structures with the same structure. Extending this to standalone variables will allow custom simple types to be define...
