RE: Client Access and V4.4 -- MIDRANGE-L

The only difference I found between Client Access 3.2 and Express 4.4 is
shared folders is missing from Express.  You now need to run Netserver on
the AS400 and setup shares.  You can share any object in the Root file
system including printers.  (QSYS.LIB, QDLS, Root...)

Now Express has much more to offer than 3.2 in 5250 emulation and Operations
Navigator.  The rest seems to be pretty much the same only faster and
cleaner on the PC side.  Yes you can define and name printer sessions for
locally attached PC printer.  If you have more running than you think you
need, check out OPS NAV.  Open your system and select Network.  Then select
Servers.  You can control what starts automatically for TCP servers as well
as Client Access Servers.  You can also see what is currently running.  You
can Start and Stop the server too.  What I really like is by right clicking
on a server you get a menu.  Select Server Jobs and you will get a list of
the actual jobs running on your system.  Now you can find out what all those
jobs are running in QUSRWRK.

Have fun! (I did.)

Subject: Client Access and V4.4


Good morning all.   I want you all to know that your knowledge and 
information passed to me has been grand. So I'm hoping someone will be able 
to assist me with this.   In fact, I know you will.   I just did the 
upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 yesterday, I had it sitting since 
December.    Nothing like being scared of doing an upgrade.   But I finally 
bit the bullet.    And really, it did seem to go pretty well, except now I 
have stuff starting that I truly don't need at this time, or I doubt that 
we will even use it.    However, my question is really for Client 
Access.  I am running version 3.2 (not express) and I want to roll it out 
slowly, due to the hand holding that needs to go on in the education 
field.  This morning, I went to do the service pack upgrade on my home 
laptop, which dials into the network, but does not assign any 
drives.   This used to work for the service pack installs, prior to this 
and I was wondering what made the difference?   Am I going to have to put 
the Novell client on the laptop to do this in the future?     Also, if I 
upgrade the Client Access to the Express client, will my users who have 
locally attached printers still be able to emulate a session to print to 
them?   (This is like 75% of the users - They have gotten used to printing 
right there).   Again, I thank you in advance for your responses, and you 
can respond to me directly if needed.
