Greetings! Yes this is actually fairly easy to accomplish. You have 2
options, If you click on the 5250 Session Manager, Click on Tools and
under there is a link called 'Profile Migration' We have a nice
interface where you can specify the .ws files you want to migrate to the
new .hod format. Yea, color and keyboard mapping should come over as
well. The 2nd option is to set the File Associations. If you are running
as an Administrator, you can click on Tools and then on File Associations.
Form there you can check the .ws link. Now, when you double click on an
.WS file, the ACS interface will open your 5250 window using all your
existing support. You can't make updates unless you then as them as a new
.hod file. Basically its a new way to migrate an interface. If you want
some great details on how to deploy the ACS support, we have a new article
that was just published

subject: Can existing Client Access (.ws) profiles be imported to the
new iAccess Client
I have a large number of existing Client Access profiles and would like to
switch to the new iAccess (name?) client. Each profile is for a
different
system and has color attributes and a keyboard profile setup. Can I
import
or convert them to be used by the new client?
