IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i.

Global Snippets

Provide ability to have a Snippet Category containing common code all Developers can access. Instead of having to Export one set of Snippets, and have others Import those, having the ability to have one or more Categories of Snippets come from a location on a network drive would be preferred. That Snippet Category would be reloaded each time a Developer started RDI, so they would have the most current version.

There is a request similar to this one for RDz. It is PMR 80726,664,706

Thank you.


Use Case:

When RDI is started, the Snippets tab would have one Category (i.e. called Global Snippets) that would get refreshed each time RDI was started.

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