IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

ACS - Run SQL Scripts - Remove unnecessary UI prompts

Do a select * from a table.

Results will display.

Right click in result window and hit "Upload Results"

Dialog should appear for table name.

Press "cancel".

Then you get:
MSGGEN007 - The user has canceled the request.

Is that message really necessary? Of course we have canceled the request. Why is the UI displaying the obvious and requiring extra clicks from the end user?


Use Case:

UI needs better design. All of these unnecessary prompts should be removed. This RFE only highlights one example, but I am sure there are others. Please have your UI design team do end user testing and find these issues.
