RE: iAccess vs ACS question

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Darryl,

When you install ACS, using the scripts option, nstall_acs_64_allusers.js

By answering "Yes" to the below.
Do you want to make ACS the default program for your existing 5250 session profiles?

All my current iSeries Access for Windows shortcuts were automatically updated to launch using ACS instead.


Details:
5250 session profiles created by IBM I Access for Windows or IBM Personal Communications can also be used by IBM I Access Client Solutions (ACS).
These files have a file extension of .ws ACS will not update .ws files, but is able to us them to start a 5250 session.

Thank you all for confirming that iAccess will still run. The plan is
switch out to ACS on new PC's but the installed base is the issue about 200
of them.

I am aware of the EOL (End of Life) for iAccess but cannot afford to bring
a whole company down because we changed operating system. It will be a slow
migration to ACS.

I tried to find the location of the icon for iAccess but cannot find it. Is
there a way to track it down?

Darryl.
