About monitors - go to this link - introduced at 7.3
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/7.3%20Content%20and%20Changes
There are enhancements mentioned to system monitors - so they have been
around for awhile - and there is a dashboard now for stuff that the
monitors showed - so we have to keep looking at developerworks
especially and say that something is not here - and stuff that is
introduced at some release often gets back-released in a little while.
There is also a *Display PTF Apply Information item - I'm sure it isn't
the full-blown support that is in MGTC, but work is being done for
something, it seems.
Also from a site at DW - the following at 7.2 - I se monitors, I see
mention of PTFs under configuration and service - I don't know to what
extent.
*The IBM team do know what was there, and I think they are dedicated to
equivalent or near-equivalent functionality - and how long did it take
for iSeries Access to have all that stuff? A "couple" year, methinks.
Forward to the future!
nRev!

I've been dreaming out EOL for 7.1 since they announced the final TR.
Pretty much all I use MGTC for are Monitors & PTF inventory. I think IBM has done some PTF work in the web nav app, but I don't recall hearing anything about Monitors.

EOL 7.1
Yeah, if they would have announced it for 9/30 one year out (like they did for the 6.1 and V5R4) that would have been a nice anniversary present from IBM. But they missed it.
