Re: Heritage Navigator for i

One has to question why the heritage Navigator is even being considered. IBM pulled it for very good reasons, mainly because there were too many security holes to fix. That provides a liability to the company that runs it and IBM.

I know some of the functionality is not in (new) Navigator yet, for instance they just added the AJS plugin, and much has been moved to ACS, but it’s difficult to come up with a use case that absolutely requires it. Any use cases that exist where only Heritage Navigator can do the job are extremely rare. Personal preference is not a valid use case.

We'll need to know your version of IBM i and your http ptf group level.
Why? One example is that at http level 2 on 7.5 the heritage Navigator has
been removed.

How can I tell whether a system still has this installed?

And if it's installed, how do I start its daemon?

Right now, if I go to mysystem:2004/ibm/console, I get "The
application or context root for this request has not been found".

I already found

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6556828

and followed the instructions. According to the GUI and those docs,
our system has the old Nav enabled and started.

I also found

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/qinavmnsrv-job

I tried STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN) but nothing happened,
that I could tell. We didn't have any QINAVMNSRV job, so I didn't try
ending it. And new Nav seems to be working fine.
