Re: 5250 open Query weirdness.... -- MIDRANGE-L

Jim,

I downloaded the 32 bit and 64 bit versions so I could try them both. Both of them have the ibm_sdk71 folder. I looked for an install program for the sdk, but I didn't find one. How did you get ACS to use the IBM SDK?

I too have been frustrated with how long it takes to start a session. Sometimes after entering my user ID and password, I can wait up to 30 seconds before I get to a command line. The non-java version before this was never that slow. I was hoping that using the IBM version of Java would show the same speed improvement that you saw.

The kicker is ACS 1.1.8.0 requires Java 8, with that JDK it works, great.
(32Bit versions)

In user tests we've found ACS loads in about 2/3s the time (big when it's
Citrix), the 5250 sessions start about twice as fast, even the file
upload/download is faster. (New ODBC driver from base package) What's
more is the ACSLAUNCH program does not freeze up on us anymore. It used to
go for a short time then freeze, requiring a reboot of the instance.

Jim,

You mentioned that you downloaded the IBM JDK 8. Where did you get it?
When I tried to find it, this page https://developer.ibm.com/
javasdk/downloads/sdk8/ says I need to go to the IBM Eclipse Install page
which then directs me to this page for Windows on Intel
https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/pickUrxNew.do?source=idpe.
Looking at the versions listed, nothing says JDK 8. I tried the one
labeled, win64-520 and that ended up containing version 7.
