Provide an IBM i Service to return information from EIM Domain

The current EIM has no decent user interface. It is very cumbersome to inquire, add, change and delete via IBM Navigator for i.


Use Case:

Inquire and maintain EIM Domain using SQL select, insert, update and delete.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    This is something of value to the Community. Make it easier to undertand the structure of EIM Domain, this will be very helpful.

    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 IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
