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).

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed. This request does not align with the strategy for Web Query because it requires adapter-specific changes to show the short name when the long name is already displayed. Please see pages 20 and 21 of the Adapter Manual at http://ibm.biz/db2wq-adapters for more information.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. This is a basic function that needs to work -- perhaps it is a bug rather than an enhancement?

    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.

    We have received the requirement and are evaluating it. We will provide a response after evaluation is complete.
