IBM Power Ideas Portal
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:
Post your ideas
Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. This would be valuable new function.
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.

This is not a simple request, and thus will not be delivered this year. The Performance Tools team considers this an important function and we will be working on it for a future delivery.
I would like to add if possible, Many CEO.s/IT request the "Executive" part of the old ibm pm400. Its the 1 most important issue to them that they no longer can get. If this could be included in nav i PDI to create an PDF a lot of customers would be very happy
The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.
The ability to schedule PDi reports, in general, would be a useful addition. If an API could be made available (perhaps via an IBM i Service) then this would be very useful. The comment about generating PDF is currently partially delivered but it would be useful to have this output type available as an option across the board.

We are gratefull that ibm has made this improvement making it possible to export chart while viewing graph history.
-Hopefully IBM has in its plans to allow us to utlize the performance Reports definition , so that we can create our own
set of Graph History and in PDF format. And if Ibm could make it possible to schedule to run the create history report pdf.s
-That would be something We and all our customers would appreciate. The problem is when a lot of customer/lpar running IBM i
and you have to manually per lpar need to export history graphs. -The pm400 report was very much appriceated by the customers and they are all asking where it is. -As i mentioned in the RFE the PDI is an very much better tool and contains all the qraphs we need ,, Wait buckets and so on , yes, we need to save the performance data in the lpar , but that is a none problem.
-Keep up your good work !
As the first step in moving toward the Graph History report support, we released the ability to Export Graph History charts in the 2020 3rd Quarter Navigator for i PTFs. This is not the report pdf format utilizing the Performance Reports definition and function as requested in this RFE, but allows you to export any chart while viewing Graph History charts on your browser (which up till now was not possible). If you haven't tried this out yet, get the latest PTFs and do so: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1164076
