Re: iAccess vs ACS question

Admiral Grace Hopper would have a field day beating up these people!

The old emulator is not supported on Windows 10 and will not be supported at all by this time next year. It will receiver no further updates while the newer better ACS will continue to evolve and receive updates.

You can suppress the sign on by using single sign on. There is no optional to use the windows userID and Password with ACS as there was with iSeries Access. This is partly because Windows keeps changing and partly because ACS runs on Windows Linux AND MAC.

I am in the process of planning an upgrade from V5.4 to 7.3.

I have resistance to change in switching the icons on our users PC systems
in some areas of the business. In the manufacturing plant, the folk have
difficulty recognizing the new icon does the same thing as the old icon.
This really floors the folk to the point that if the icon is moved from its
position its in, they freeze as they do not want to get into trouble for
using what they perceive as a change.

Questions:
1. These users only use the 5250 session. Is anyone aware of any issues for
them to continue to use the older 5250 iAccess software?

2. Is there a way to suppress the initial prompt to connect to the system?
Once the 5250 icon is clicked on, it should go directly to the 5250 sign on
screen.
