Re: RDi 5250 settings

Nice to know, Mike. Shame RDi doesn't pick up the same configuration set up when invoking ACS outside of RDi, (or have a Preference/Setting for which configuration to use and where it is). But then, it's not much effort to invoke ACS/5250 from outside RDi - especially if there's a strategic shortcut handy on the desktop.

Cheers!
Brian.

Just for clarification, which version of RDi are you using?

RDi 9.6 has 2 x IBM-supplied 5250 emulators available:
- Host Connection Emulator
- ACS Emulator

RDi 9.8 has just the ACS emulator - I believe HCE has been discontinued.

(Don't forget the iSphere plug-in has it's own excellent 5250 emulator
as well.)

Personally, I tend to use the ACS emulator via the standalone ACS
install and not rely on the in-built RDi version. (The configurations
are better managed, especially across new product versions.)

FWIW,
Brian.

Is there a way to save 5250 settings when running from RDi?

I launch 5250 from the Object Table view and it loads with a generic
session. I set all my configuration and save it. When I open 5250 again
it's back to the generic.


TIA
