IBM i 7.1
5770XH2 *BASE 5050 IBM i Access for Web

Now, there's a big difference between the above product (which I have installed but have never attempted to use) and ... Oh, I forget the Nom dujour and it wouldn't help explain it to you anyway. Let me just refer it to you as
http://youribmi:2001
If you're at IBM i 7.1, and
WRKPTFGRP PTFGRP(SF99707) PTFGRPLVL(*LATEST) shows you at ?6? or higher, then
http://youribmi:2001
should look much different than that same url did prior to the recent TR's.
It will now have much of the function (or more) than 57..XH2 did.
At this point I see no purpose for using XH2. Well one poster mentioned the web version of 5250 is not yet available at the 7.1 version of
http://youribmi:2001

So, if my system is V7R1, and I don't see 5761-XW1 in the
Installed Licensed Pgms, i Access for Web is not installed ?

The web interface is a great improvement. I think IBM should put all the
team to improve it, leaving the old navegator alone. I'm sure userd will
go to the web without need to be forced, like happened between the green
screen and the graphical but prone to problems and hard to support
navegator.

Rob,

Most definitely.

Just as when Navigator for i "replaced" the green screen, IBM has

announced that the functionality of Navigator for i is now frozen. There
are already things popping up in the web console that are not supported in
any other way. A customer of mine recently pointed out a new option in
the Advanced Job Scheduler that only exists in the web console version.

I also prefer the ability to access the system using a browser from

anywhere. Although it has not happened yet, I fantasize about fixing a
system problem from an Internet cafe in Paris. To save further posts from
those who know me well, I'll admit that the fantasy here is me fixing a
system problem, not visiting Paris.

Cheers,

Bill
