POWERHA IBM i Service

I'd like to see a DB2 Service showing POWERHA status, cluster status, IASP status, CRG status, Administrative Domain status.


Use Case:

Allow me to programmatically check the status of an IASP and POWERHA information. This would allow for automated error reporting.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    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

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.

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.
