I'm about to go off the grid for a week, but I will re-download the RTC
trial and see what I missed the last time I looked at this.  My prior
experience (3 years ago?  Longer?) was that RTC was only barely aware of
IBM i.  But perhaps I didn't find how that was implemented.

Remarkable.  I didn't see any of this on the RTC web site.  The sole
reference to IBM i in the RTC Data Sheet was to advertise that Arcad has
their Rational Power Pack.
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/en/rad14018usen/RAD14018USEN.PDF
The tutorial is Java
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rtcihelp/v1r0m1n1/index.jsp and the
search does not understand 'service program'.

This doesn't mean that RTC Enterprise can't do this; it means I'd never
have been able to work that out from the documentation that I found.
There's probably another web site...

There's no way on earth I'd be able to push a $4.5K budget item though,
so this is all theoretical for me.  But hopefully someone else will get
a spark.
