Re: New IBM i Client Access Solutions

Rob,

Operations Console is the name of the software that provides either Direct
Attach console or Lan Console, Direct attach i very much doubt it's
supported under the new software due to it being deprecated after Windows
XP. That leaves only Lan Console.
On that vein, Ted, be aware that each and every connection has a different
certificate and device, that means that if you have QCONSOLE assigned to
the old software on that machine you have to create a new QCONSOLE2 or the
like for the new software to connect. Thas has always been a detail with
the LAN Consoles. You can't just use the same data and expect the new
software to work because when it first connects it creates an encryption
key.

Best Regards,

Roberto

Ok, I've not used Operations Console since we've had a Power 4.
Since then I've use a little Lan Console, but mostly HMC's.
Perhaps there is some issue with this because Operations Console is so
very old and I don't believe is supported on currently supported versions
of the operating system.
Which of the options on the "IBM i Access Client Solutions" window are you
calling Operations Console? "5250 Console"? "Virtual Control Panel"?

Has anyone ever had this happen to them?

IBM I Client Access Solutions is IBM's replacement for IBM i Access for
Windows or more specifically a 5250 Emulator and Operations Console. What
surprises me is that Operations Console has no issue detecting it but the
new program refuses to find it.

This Windows 7 instance is on the same subnet as my iSeries Lpars, same
switch no funky vlans or firewalls to block any BOOTP Packets. I am
missing something here or is IBM's new program just flaky? Sorry if this
is a little ranty but I find stuff like this incredibly frustrating.
