                           Requested Information

Request Title:

Fix the CHGDOMSVR command to retrieve current settings.


Provide a detailed description of request (including unique usage):

Often we need to retrieve the current settings of a Domino Server.  One
easy way to do this would be if, when we took an option 2 from WRKDOMSVR,
the prompted CHGDOMSVR would retrieve the current values.  Currently we get
ridiculous values like *SAME.  There are many times we need this value
including, but not limited to, the following:
Migrating a Domino server(s) to another iSeries.
Adding another Domino server, much like this one.
Debugging purposes - did we really turn on that option?
Ease of support - being able to tell Support Line what our current values
are.

Priority (check applicable priority)

x___ Urgent
___ High
___ Medium
___ Low

If there is a deadline (date) for obtaining solution, when is it and why do
you need it by that deadline?

December 10, 2001
We are migrating several Domino partitions to another iSeries and in the
process purchasing the biggest iSeries in the state of Indiana.

Area where you believe the problem to be:  (check applicable area)

___ Client Access
___ Database
___ General
___ Hardware
___ Language/Compiler
x___ Lotus
___ Network Enable/Communications
___ Print/Fax
___ Save/Restore
___ Web Serving
___ Work Management
___ BRMS
___ Other:  (provide more information here)

Why is it important to your business to solve this request?  What is the
impact to your company if IBM does not provide a solution?

We'd rather not have the potential downtime of our Domino servers because
we missed some option when we ran the CFGDOMSVR on the new iSeries.


Select a requirement type: (Select one)

  X___ Long range or strategic (required to meet long-range needs)
  ___ Suggestion (you would like, but it is not critical)
  ___ Tactical (needed to solve a short-term problem)

Do you have a suggested solution?

Change the CHGDOMSVR command to retrieve all values of which we are
prompted for.
As an ancillary - If an API is created to retrieve these current values,
then publish the API at the following web site:
