Re: Automating ACS Data Transfer

Fair question - Bryan is asking for another ACS plugin that will return information we can see now when we take Help-->About from any of the user interfaces.

The Idea is over 3 years old and is labeled as under consideration. I'd like more about the use case, just saying we need it isn't enough for my meager imagination. And from the link we got, I wasn't able to see comments, so I don't think I can add one. The Idea site is the place where IBM is sure to see anything we say, not here, necessarily.

Vern

Bryan,
I've read your idea. It seems to be trying to get the ACS version of the
current 5250 session user from the IBM i command line.

First of all, the OP is using IBM i as his client. So what version of iACS
he's running on his PC is meaningless. Read his original statement. I
didn't catch it at first.

But to your idea,
Would it help if IBM would populate these columns?
select job_name, client_acctng, client_applname, client_programid,
interface_name, interface_type, interface_level
from table(qsys2.active_job_info(JOB_NAME_FILTER => '*',
DETAILED_INFO => 'ALL')) x
