RE: ACS versus older i Access for Windows

It doesn't include iNav. They did recently add SQL Scripts and Visual Explain to iACS.

We have iACS on a NetServer share and all users point to that location. We're all on a LAN, so we don't have to deal with flakey/slow remote connections. iACS updates are as simple as copying the new files in place. I can do this during production without the active users even noticing.

Subject: ACS versus older i Access for Windows

I've been watching the posts of issues encountered with ACS for couple years.

Sounds great in many respects,

Is it ready to roll out in a large production environment to various Win 7 and 10 desktop and laptops where our Help Desk can set it up and basically forget about it (like i Access) other than occasional service packs?

We use the telnet session (both display and printer), including Win Terminal Server and Citrix Servers

some file transfers defined,

using i Navigator's AFP Manager to manage overlays and page segments

ODBC configurations on some clients

other i Navigator functions for database like SQL performance and Plan Cache.



PC mapped drives of Power I, but that should not be affected by the client.

V7R1 OS (plan to load 7.3 ).
