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).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Add extra Keywords &SYSNAME and &SYSDESC to Watermark Options

Currently the Watermark function you can use keywords :

&COMPN
Computer name
&HOST - Host name defined within the emulator session.
&ID - Current session ID.
&NAME - Current session name.
&USERN - User name that started the JVM.

It would be useful to add in two more:
&SYSTEM - The value placed System Name Variable
&DESCRIPTION - The value placed in the System Description


Use Case:

&SYSTEM would be an advantage over the existing &HOST value where DNS is not used and the IP address is specified on the connection tab.

&DESCRIPTION would be an advantage where you wanted to use a longer substitution text string in your watermark.
