New Navigator for i available

new navigator for i

When the new version of ACS was released we were informed that a new version of "Navigator for i" would be forthcoming.

Today I find that this new "Navigator for i" has been released. It is only available via PTF for the latest releases of IBM i:

  • IBM i 7.4 SI76981
  • IBM i 7.3 SI76982

You do not access the new "Navigator for i" via ACS, it has its own URL. On the partition I am using the URL is:

http://your-partition-name:2002/Navigator/login

Which presents me with the following new login screen.

When I signon I am presented with a screen that has a long list of icons on the left pf my screen. When these are clicked on they open all kinds of new and enhanced tools. In my case I found I needed to be patient as it can take a little time for the "reports" and screens to load.

At present I have barely had time than just have a quick look at everything offered, without going in deeper. I certainly look forward to having time to do a deep dive and discover what is contained within.

Detailed instructions on how to load the PTF can be found here.

  4. I will mention that if you have secured the ADMIN1 server than the port number is 2003, not 2002.

  5. Has anyone tried to use the Message Monitor from Navigator for i? I am monitoring any potential MSGW in QSYSOPR Message Queue. I configured a command that I want to send to know when an error is captured. The problem is that the trigger and reset commands are placed into QBATCH and will be released until the first message is ended. Any experience here?
