RE: installed IBM i Access for Web

Rob,

I have the Java based Access product installed on the IFS and available from a web link. Works great. No need to carry anything around on a stick. I see it as a good replacement for iSeries Access for Windows and iSeries Access for Web.

Vern,

Some might argue that anything you have to install on a system, even if
it's carry around on a stick, is not a replacement for a web based
solution. And I'm in their camp. I think of it more of a replacement for
iSeries Access for Windows with much of the functionality relying upon
whatever the hell the name is for the stuff available at port 2001. (can
we tinyurl that name?)
I'm not really impressed with it and I've been using it for quite some
time.
I am still trying to decide it's "market". Perhaps you hit it with the
carry on a stick consultant.
