Re: RDi 9.6 is now available!!!

Everything in ACS is a work-in-progress. We just aren't going to get the world the first day - hey, even God took 6 days!

IBM have added items to the Schema component - to see about new things, put in some RFEs - one for each discreet item, not a list, to which IBM can't easily say yes - no line-item veto for people voting on RFEs, right?

Missed a few items:

1. Where do you now manage omnifind text indexes? In navigator it used to show under "XML Schema Repository (XSR)", but now it's now where to be found in ACS
2. There should be a link to the SQL performance monitor in the Schema viewer within ACS when you right click your database. Instad you have to jump back out of the Schema viewer, go to the ACS welcome page and open the SQL Performance viewer, choose your database, and then go about your business. Not user friendly.

Here are the things in navigator that are not available in ACS (although I am one version behind, should probably check if they added these)

1. Right click a table and hit Journals
2. Right click a table, hit edit contents
3. Looking for Lock holders and Locked Rows options are missing
4. There is no copy/paste of tables between librarys in ACS. You could copy the whole table, or just copy the definition in Navigator
5. Where did the database map go?

UI annoyances:

1. You use to be able to hit "Run an SQL Script" while viewing tables in Navigator. There is no such short link I can find. Instead you must go back to the Access Client solutions Welcome screen (or completely exit the Schemas viewer), and hit "Run SQL Scripts". There should be a "Run SQL Scripts" from within the schemas manager where you managed 99% of your other database operations.

Matt, out of curiosity - which (Database) features in ACS are missing that forces you to use iNavigator?

Agreed. I have to use DBeaver as IBM only provides the notepad of SQL editors. I still have to drop back to the no-longer-supported IBM I Navigator to do some tasks as ACS still hasn't got all the features Navigator had. So basically now I tab through DBeaver, IBM I Navigator, and ACS to get tasks complete. Very poor user experience.
