And it's not like IBM doesn't already know that filtering is a problem
with the web admin. I submitted a requirement at SHARE 18 months ago.
At the following SHARE IBM responded 'thanks for the suggestion, no plans to
implement this'.
Maybe, and I hope, IBM is planning to put a lot of features into the proxy.
The proxy should be able to get a list of nodes or filespaces or volumes
and hold it until a refresh is requested. It should be able to sort, filter
etc.
This makes sense to me. New server levels are a nervous time for me and
maybe for the developers too. They should be able to send out new proxy
levels much quicker.
Filtering is really necessary. I have 1500 nodes. It takes a long time for
my browser to convert a very large html stream into graphics. It is a pain
to the scroll such a beast. As you might guess, I don't use the web admin
client much now.
I was briefly in the beta for the TSM 37 mvs server. I just installed the
proxy today.
It seemed a little faster when run against a small test server.
IBM/Tivoli, do you have plans to really spiff up the web admin or not?
Inquiring minds want to know!!
