Re: iACS vs. Client Access on V7R2

[JWGrant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I really try not to use the IBM Navigator client but there are some issues 
accessing
some configuration options within the *HTTPP Admin server.

for example: We run our internal DNS server on IBMi and when trying to 
update
the server properties some options do not show up in the Admin server.

I have tried several different browsers with the same results.

Have not had time to report to IBM.

I usually start my windows VM and use IBM Navigator to make changes.

Anybody else have any issues with the *admin server?

Justin,

With the recent announcements I think we are down to two things, both of
which are being worked on feverishly by our friends in Rochester.  With 
the
SQL scripting now being supported 90% of what everyone uses is either in
the Access Client or in the *ADMIN server.    The two (maybe three) items 
I
am aware of are high on the list of items to complete.
