ACS Schema Journal chain information missing

Currently ACS Schema journal/journalreceivers information is missing.

In iNav the GUI did provide information if a journal had gaps in the journalreceiver chain. The command WRKJRNA and F15=Work with Receiver Directory does provide a number. This information enables you to detect gaps in the chain of *JRNRCV for a *JRN object. Great functionality if you ask me.

In ACS=> Schemas=><a schema>=>journals=> properties (the information which was available in iNav is missing)

In ACS=> Schemas=><a schema>=>journal Receivers (the number which is available in "Work with Receiver Directory" is missing)


Use Case:

The ACS GUI needs to be a good alternative for CLI. The functionality missing in this area forces you to jump from ACS=>Schemas to CLI or even worse to keep using iNav (ughhh)

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a HIGH priority requirement that is important to address.

    This feature would help to raise the adoption rate of using ACS GUIs.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (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 high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. IBM's direction is to aim to use GUI rather than the "green screen", so the GUI needs to be improved to include functions like this one.

    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 RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
