Re: iSeries Navigator - Generating a list of users for all systems

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just noticed, you don't need to search, you can export directly from the 
Inventory item. And this technique could apply to any of the possible 
inventories on multiple systems. And you can drill down for individual 
endpoint systems in each group.

Pretty nice, actually.
