Add "Map your database" to IBM i Access Client Solutions and/or IBM Navigator for i

In the deprecated System i Navigator you had this function "Map your database". It would print a graphical representation of your database. For example, if you had foreign key constraints between tables,
like those common for:
- Item Master to Item Class
- Customer Master to Customer class
- Order Header to Customer Master
- Order Line to Order Header
- Order Line to Item Master
...
These would all appear on the map.

If you had Join Logicals it would also show their relationships.

How do I do this in IBM i Access Client Solutions and/or IBM Navigator for i?


Use Case:

This consultant is on site and would like a map of our database for our Cognos installation.

    I'd prefer seeing this feature added to Navigator rather than the "Run SQL Scripts" part of ACS. The data is likely already available within DB2 and just needs a graphical interface to display the map function that Navigator in Access for Windows had.
