Re: Is Management Central dead? Was: disabling QSECOFR profile

To Justin again - heh - the response that said it was unique to your environment was concerned with your request (out of 5) to get Kerberos support in Nav for i - the other had to do with performance of Nav for i compared to the rich client.

We probably took IBM's lead on how that was worded, as to environment. Nonetheless, we'll see how IBM responds to your RFE - and I'm glad you submitted that.

The performance thing still might be better submitted as a PMR, since it probably isn't best seen as a "request for enhancement" - performance improvement is not typically an enhancement, right? I will say that as the HTTP group PTFs are coming out, that performance is continually improving, according to reports from several, including some who are on these lists.

Of the 5 items in your requirement, these 2 were thought better to be PMRs, one was already delivered, and 2 were split into separate requirements.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the requirement - http://requirements.common.org/powerbase/view/ideasIBM.htm?db=ideasIBM&Where=ID%20=%203458

Oy! Sounds odd to me, as well - and I'm on the CAAC (and its Requirements Committee), who go through those COMMON requirement submissions.

We have received a number of things from you, and mostly we need more granular submissions - which I think was said to you, IIRC. A catalog list of things is harder to send to IBM - or a very general request - not you, I think, but we've had requests for IBM to "modernize the interface of Navigator for i" - that will be sent back with a request to be more specific, and probably to break things up into achievable units. You know, the way we all want our users to submit things, right?

Hope this makes some sense - I'll look into the unique environment" thing, too.

Good idea. Previously someone suggested that I should submit this thru Common (even though I'm not a member). I did, but they immediately closed my request saying it was unique to my environment. That sounded ludicrous to me.

You know, you could open a pmr and ask IBM how to do this. Worst case scenario they tell you it currently can't be done. Then you submit a RFE.
