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).
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:
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,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

In the latest HTTP groups for releases 7.2 and up, a new integrated web services (IWS) QShell script, getConfigurationFile.sh, has been provided to generate property files that may be used on the installWebService.sh IWS script. For example, to get the properties file for a web service ConvertTemp:
getConfigurationFile.sh -server WSERVICE -locationDirectory /tmp -serviceList ConvertTemp
Then, to install the service you would use the installWebService.sh script as follows:
installwebservice.sh -server WSTEST -propertiesFile /tmp/ConvertTemp.properties
. . . not to mention security compliance. Administrative command line access without logging could be a serious security issue.
