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 "Machine Type" to a DB2 Service

Would be beneficial to have "Machine Type" be available via a DB2 Service.


Use Case:

Instead of needing to have a user/admin GO SERVICE opt 6 we could obtain the information via SQL statement.

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with the following IBM i DB PTF Groups: 7.4 SF99704 Level 7 and IBM i 7.3 SF99703 Level 18.

    The QSYS2.SYSTEM_STATUS_INFO view has been enhanced to return the machine type, model, and serial number (plus several additional new columns).

    Hi,
    Even though we currently do not support this as an IBM i Service, we do have this on our list of candidates for the future.
    That said, OSSILE includes support for this request.
    https://github.com/OSSILE/OSSILE

    Would you accept an OSSILE solution as satisfying this requirement?
    Thanks, Scott
