Re: MS Vista and iSeries Access support

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guy,

Thanks for the info. It is unfortunate that IBM updated the Apar II14239 on 
Nov 28, but never updated it's iSeries Access pages the Info Apar even 
exists. The description in apar SE27507 has a link to the supported OS page
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/supportedos.html
which has no reference to anything about Vista.

To all who have said "Vista should be no problem..." or similar, read
Apar SE27507 which lists several problems, some I would consider severe.
I have recommended to all my clients not to take the risk, and wait till 
this settles in.
Any if you did not catch what Guy said - it will be a new service pack for 
iSeries Access V5R4
(and no mention of service pack for the previous V5R3).
