Add new Column on Alternative SBS Routing main display for Number of Configured IPs in Navigator for i

We want to add a new Column on Alternative SBS Routing main display for the Number of Configured IPs in Navigator for i, just like the column Number of configured Users!

The reason is that we want to have a first quick display of configured IPs per service, without have to go inside in the routing properties one by one, because we've many configured IPs and Users on different services, which makes it difficult to manage!

With both two columns Number of configured Users alongside Number of Configured IPs, we could have in once a quick conclusion in which services are configured either specific users, or specific IPs!

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    This is a nice to have and we feel more customers are getting more IPs per systems, this makes management easier.

    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 IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    Thanks for your input. We agree that this idea has usefulness and would be a beneficial enhancement. IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    For example, it could be something like this for Remote Command!
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS ALTERNATE_COUNT FROM QSYS2.SERVER_SBS_CONFIGURATION WHERE SERVER_NAME = 'QZRCSRVS' AND IP_ADDRESS_START IS NOT NULL;
