RE: iAccess Client Solutions; "only an IBM ID" required; err, notexactly

I run ACS on my MAC pro, MAC Air, and even have on iPad that I put Java on to where it will run. (Java on an iPad is possible albeit a PITA)

As mentioned below, I'd call it in.

And then come to find that my metered bandwidth *and* 70 days were
both _wasted_ on that download; the net, summed up in the following
message when I clicked on the instructed file: "You can't open the
application IBM i Access Client Solutions.app because it is not
supported on this type of Mac." Nothing in the readme or anything
else I saw suggested any pre-requisite.? Certainly not very useful to
know that the software "runs on most operating systems that support
Java, including … Mac", but no implication that my Mac would be
excluded :-(

That's interesting, since it should work. What model Mac and what version of OS X are you running? I think that the .app is built against 10.6 in both 32-bit and 64-bit "fat binary" format, so it should support most any Mac out there nowadays. In any case, you can always bypass the .app and just run the jar file directly: java -jar acsbundle.jar Double clicking the acsbundle.jar may also work, not sure on Mac, though.

If you're still having issues, you can always open a PMR.
