Client Access & V4.4

["MARYLOU ATWELL" <MATWELL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, 

As we don't truly use the AS400 for file sharing, we have Compaq servers for 
that, the only thing that would be shared possibly are some of the AS400 
printers, that are just on the AS400, like our 4234 or our 6200 (both of which 
are dated, to put it mildly).   I know that I will be investigating the various 
avenues of this, and most likely will kill the AS400.  Then the support line 
contract will come in handy.   Do you have a resource that you went to often, 
or was it picked up as you went?   And thanks for your comments, I will do as 
you said and have fun with it, since it's here to stay until the next time.  
Have a great day! 

MaryLou

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.)
