In our shop, we've determined that the vendor / version of Java ACS is using can affect stability. Our shop standard is Eclipse Adoptium 17.0.9, and it (according to IBM) is likely the culprit behind all the problems with ACS crashing: Too many green screen windows/tabs open, too many SQL result windows open (probably tabs in an SQL windows as well, but I always open results in their own window). In addition, attempts to resize 5250 windows results in random sizes that you can't overcome. When this happens, I need to close ACS completely and start over.
IBM recommends using "Java 11", specifically IBM OpenJ9's Java 11. See:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/792205
I would like to say that I've downloaded and installed it to determine whether it really does solve these problems, but our software control committee needs to approve and they are determined to have only one version of Java enterprise wide.

Subject: ACS question
Does anyone else experience this:
I have multiple 5250 windows open in ACS to different IBM i servers in our network. Quite often, when I click on the IFS plug-in, I suffer a hard crash in ACS only. This seems to happen when a folder I access has alot [i.e 10,000+ entries] in it. The PC seems to get sluggish, then the 5250 windows all start closing themselves, one by one until there are no more
5250 windows open, and the IFS plug-in is closed too.
I am running ACS version on 11.0.8
Is there some kind of limit to ACS's IFS Plugin? Has there been an update to Windows that is causing this? Does anyone else experience this?
