This is really a reason to call IBM support - iACS is current software, so they should help you.

Now as to "modules" - there is only 1, the acsbundle.jar file - you should look for the acsconfig.properties file - there are "exclude" and "include" items in there, just comment out anything that limits what you can see - now you DO want some limits for the general user community - but that is not you, right?

Open the old CA Console configuration screens on the old WinXP box, and then open the new iACS on your Mac, and just copy (manually, look at XP, then type it into iACS) the config. parameters for setting up the console,  that should be a "good start."

iACS also supports that nice little virtual control front panel ... ;-)

It looks like I don't actually have all the iACS modules I need installed. (To be fair, I was installing it in an attempt to connect it, as a user, to a customer box; attempting to connect to our own hardware was an afterthought.) And there may be other problems.

Contrary to the picture I was sent last Thursday, the left pane of my iACS main window shows only

Conspicuously absent are General/5250 Emulator and Console/5250 Console. And of course, General/SSH Terminal is of no use to me, connecting to a V6 box.

The good news is that with the appropriate IP address plugged into "Service Host Name" on the "Console" tab, the "Verify Connection" button produces

Verifying connection to port 3001 service...Success!     using port number 3001
Verifying connection to port 2300 service...Success!     using port number 2300
Verifying connection to port 3002 service...Success!     using port number 3002
Verifying connection to port 2323 service...Success!     using port number 2323

The bad news is that clicking on Console/Virtual Control Panel gets me "MSGSSL004 - An error was encountered during the handshake phase of establishing a secure connection (Received fatal alert: handshake_failure)."

I do have a dump file, but I have no idea what to do with it.

Now what?
