RE: IBM i Access for Web - Not yet a replacement for Navigator

Not yet. Here's the list I put together recently on what System I Navigator has that my IBM I Navigator does not:
--Management Central
--PTF inventory
--Auto-refresh
--NetServer shares
--EIM/SSO (Supposed to be available in 7.2)

Subject: IBM i Access for Web - Not yet a replacement for Navigator

Since iSeries Navigator is no longer supported on Windows 10 or above (it is discontinued) IBM is now touting IBM I Access for Web as the replacement.

However there seems to be many deficiencies in the product such as:


1. Database Interaction

a. How to list "All Objects" in the database

b. How to view and create constraints using a GUI

c. How to view and create functions using a GUI

d. How to view and create Indexes using a GUI

e. Viewing journal recievers in a library and viewing the entries and other management functions of journal receivers

f. Viewing stored procedures, editing stored procedure definitions within a GUI

g. Viewing / creating SQL Packages

h. Viewing / Creating triggers

i. Viewing / Creating SQL Types

j. Viewing / Creating Views

2. Users and Groups

a. No Group or all users viewing

3. No Visual Explain

4. No index tuning


Anyone able to get rid of navigator yet?
