first IWS for IBMi setup screen forces entry of IBMi program library

The first Integrated Web Services for IBMi setup screen forces entry of an IBMi program library. This hard-defined library is used to locate the IBMi program. Please enhance the first IWS setup screen, to soft-locate the IBMi program via the library list *LIBL.


Use Case:

Mandatory entry of a fixed program library blocks the use of Integrated Web Services for IBMi in continuous integration and production environments. These environments are configured to be driven from IBMi library lists. This restricts use of IWS to demonstration purposes only, which is a real pity as it is potentially very useful.

    IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be desirable and feasible. IBM intends to provide a solution. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
