Re: "Idea" to consolidate documentation for IBM Services with the system catalog

This is pretty sensible - it also aligns with how IBM have organized things in the PDF they make available that lists all of this - and one of the pages of the PDF is the various catalogs. Here's a link to it - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/Catalog_Views2022_with_i75TR2_i74TR8_14x8Landscape.pdf


Can find that link on the Db2 for i - Technology Updates page at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1116645/


Cheers

Craig,
The closest compromise I can think of Database, Database reference, Db2 for
i SQL reference, and move the following immediately next to "Db2 for i
catalog views":
Db2 for i Services
IBM i Services
SYSTOOLS

Craig,
I disagree because people (even IBMers) only look in one place and forget
about the other. I have a recent thread on one of the IBM Communities
where an IBMer said he could think of no where in the Services which might
list a certain string in a procedure. Birgitta replied in SYSPROCS.

I agree that hiding the documentation under Performance and Query
Optimization is not the best place, but I'm not sure that putting it under
DB2 for i Catalog Views is the best place.

Maybe create a new category under SQL Reference, "Services". Put all of
the SQL services there.

Performance

and Query optimization instead of consolidating it with the system

catalog

is confusing so I created this idea:
