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,

Displaying source file member text within the i Project

We would like the member description of source file members either alongside the actual source file member or available in a separate table as is available via RSE for objects on the iSeries.


Use Case:

We are using RDi in combination with SVN so our aim is to remove source from the iSeries and only rely on checkout from the repository. On checkout though we are presented with potentially thousands of members with no description of what they are; just a meaningless 10 character name. We would like to see the description of all members in a single display as it is not an option to check the individual properties.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
