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).

iACS create new windows on same page as main window

if possible change iACS new window behaviour to create new windows on the same display / screen as the originating (main) window.


Use Case:

developers working on Mac with 3 or 4 screen setup. When working with iACS databases and schemas, new windows usually are opened on Macs primary screen, not on the screen the developer has its "schemas" window open.
IIRC the same behaviour has been reported on Windows.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. We understand the value of this RFE, but higher priority items have taken precedence. We are keeping this on our list for consideration in the near future.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    Thanks for providing the PMR. Unfortunately, our Service rep assumed you were asking for new function because that's how the PMR is worded. Therefore, the PMR was not forwarded to our Development team. Please reopen the existing PMR (or open a new one) and make sure the Service team forwards the PMR to the Development team for investigation. To avoid confusion, I'll suggest you provide an example of the failing scenario instead of requesting an enhancement.

    Please contact our Service team and open a PMR. If our Service team is not able to resolve the issue, please provide the PMR.
