RE: Where is client access?

I found the question ambiguous, but I believe he was asking if the new iACS is on the IFS, like the old Windows client. The most direct way to answer that question was to search for iACS on the IFS.


Technically there are platform-specific installers for iACS, and if you have issues IBM will insist you use them. That being said, I just keep iACS on a NetServer share and the only thing on the client PC's is the 5250 config.

You will probably never see acsbundle.jar on the IBM i - it is distributed in a different way from the other licensed product options - take a look at the ACS web page for more about this.

ACS is deployed, not installed - this is a tremendous and beneficial difference. For example, one can put the main JAR file on a network file server and have only a config file on each person's local machine - changes, which are available from an FTP site, can be put on the file server and are then available to everyone.

The path you list is for the deprecated, Windows-only iAccess for Windows.

I did a search of my /QIBM/ directory (7.3), and I do not have "acsbundle.jar" (the Java iACS client).

Hi,

Is IBM's Client Access software stored anywhere (as an installable
deliverable) on the server
in a similar way that IBM's Access Client software (the Java version) is (in the IFS at /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Windows/Install/Image) ?

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
