Expand Object Table to copy members to different system

In the new, PDM-like Object Table, add ability to copy a member to a different LPAR/SYSTEM when using PDM option 3


Use Case:

We have multiple systems, and there are times I need to copy a member to a different system for testing, etc.

I can do this in RSE with Copy and Paste, and I would like to do this in the new PDM-like Object Table.

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. The use of the new PDM-like object table is rather limited without this function, and it is not consistent with other OSes (or even within RDi itself).

    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.

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

    If IBM considers to develop this useful request it should not only copy source members but also objects between different IBM i systems.
