    .With IBM Navigator for i, Monitors now have a "Copy to System" function which allows user to copy a created monitor to any systems handled by that Navigator GUI.

    Hello Steve,

    Can we change this RFE into Save & Restore Navigator for i Monitors?

    On the other hand if this request is honored, I assume we will also have the option for Message Monitors.

    Greetings Rudi

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to address.

    There is no workaround other than buying a 3rd party product, there is a broad audience for this functionality as end users use it to monitor problems and their performance.


    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial 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.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
