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).

Add the ability to compare iproject members

Allow the ability to use the compare tooling - both LPEX and text - with iProjects and also between different workspaces.


Use Case:

I have more than one workspace and each has a version of the source member. I do not want to push to the IBM i because I do not know which one contains the current version. The push will contaminate the original source on the IBM i. I want to find the most current version and then push that one.

The LPEX compare needs to compare members in the workspace from i Projects.

This should be possible, but there seems no way to do that.

Currently, the only options that are available are to compare to something on the IBM i or something on a local drive. Now you may be able to go out and hunt that file out of the workspace location (or is this a cached copy) but it should be an option. Also the ability to be able to compare something in another iProject or even in the workspace somewhere else should be available.

    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.
