This RFE is being rejected do to low interest. This could be considered in the future.
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

I understand that this is not in ACS, however the Job Scheduler can be accessed via ACS through Navigator for i, Work Management, All Tasks (Web interface). My initial thought is to create this in ACS in the same fashion that BRMS is currently capable of these features in the old iNavigator, or add these same feature available for BRMS control groups, etc. in Navigator for i via ACS as Job Scheduler function in Navigator for i. (individual or mass copy of Job Scheduler configurations, job entries, calendars, etc. Today the process to duplicate job scheduler entries between multiple IBMi servers is very complicated and not user friendly at all, and each server must be configured manually rather than configure once and deploy to many.
CAAC has reviewed this RFE and is asking for information to understand fully assess its value -- see the Comment from CAAC. The status is being changed to show that we are waiting for that information.
The CAAC has reviewed this RFE. More information is needed for proper evaluation. Please clarify the scenario and the products being used. Advanced Job Scheduler is not in Access Client Solutions (ACS), and BRMS is not in ACS either. Are you talking about the fat client or the web interface?
