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).

Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
After evaluating this request, the decision has been made to not duplicate this function that is already available in Navigator for i. If there is a specific enhancement relative to Navigator for i, please open a separate RFE to Systems Management. If you need to use Navigator for i across multiple partitions/systems, you may see better performance for a specific feature by changing the Target System within a single browser tab for Navigator for i instead of starting a separate tab for each partition/system. You can change the Target System at:
Target Systems and Groups --> Target Systems
Hi MarinaSchwenk
You can start and stop TCP/IP services from the command line with the STRTCPSVR and ENDTCPSVR (be careful the default is *ALL)
If you want to know what is running then use the NETSTAT *CNN command or via SQL using the IBM i Service
Hi Jason
Can I suggest you run the ARE network checker, As it sounds like you have a problem, your experience of the interface is not (in my experience) normal.
I look after a wide range of servers of a variety of spec's and my response time is usually sub-second and my startup time for admin serer is 1 to 2 minutes but I just leave it running.
On those servers where I can not use the ADMIN web server, I connect an manage those LPARs from another LPAR that does have ADMIN server using the TARGET server function.

I agree. The web-based iNavigator has some serious issues.
1. It takes FOREVER to start up every time you need to cycle your system.
2. It's SLOW as all get out. Not to mention cumbersome to use.
I don't mind Web-based apps, but I sure hate when IBM takes functions from PC based apps, moves them to the web, and then they are worse than what we had.
