Re: "Idea" to consolidate documentation for IBM Services with the system catalog

Alright, now I see what you mean. In your Idea submission, where it says "put them underneath [catalog views]", I took that to mean as a subcategory of catalog views, not listed physically underneath that heading.

Not trying to be pedantic, I just misunderstood your suggestion.

Craig,
The closest compromise I can think of Database, Database reference, Db2 for
i SQL reference, and move the following immediately next to "Db2 for i
catalog views":
Db2 for i Services
IBM i Services
SYSTOOLS

Craig,
I disagree because people (even IBMers) only look in one place and forget
about the other. I have a recent thread on one of the IBM Communities
where an IBMer said he could think of no where in the Services which might
list a certain string in a procedure. Birgitta replied in SYSPROCS.

I agree that hiding the documentation under Performance and Query
Optimization is not the best place, but I'm not sure that putting it under
DB2 for i Catalog Views is the best place.

Maybe create a new category under SQL Reference, "Services". Put all of
the SQL services there.

is confusing so I created this idea:
