Re: i Access Client and latest java

Hi Rhett

There is a config setting that helps with startup times, although primarily beneficial when network installation, as described in this bit from the Getting Started document:

Setting the property com.ibm.iaccess.DataCache=true will reduce working set size and will significantly reduce startup times when the product jar file is remote (e.g network share).

com.ibm.iaccess.DataCache=true

It probably won't make much difference with the JAR file is local, but it doesn't hurt anything that I know of.

Mike,

My Windows 10 is running IBM i Access Client Solutions: 1.1.5.0
with java.version: 1.8.0_101 and is solid.

My Windows 7 Enterprise is running IBM i Access Client Solutions: 1.1.5.1
with java.version: 1.8.0_66 and is solid.

I refuse to go back to the "fat client" model.

May I suggest to the list, to avoid confusion, that we use the name
"Access Client Solutions" for the new client, as you list it here.

"iSeries Access" is just one of the names for the fat Windows client, as I
recall. I'm running "IBM System i Access for Windows" 7.1 at work - "IBM
iSeries Access for Windows"5.3 on my home machine. There's the "iSeries
Access" name!

"Client Access" has not been in use since forever, as I recall. Maybe V4R5
was the last of it.

Cheers

iSeries Access for Windows Support statement from IBM.
It may work for some, but is not supported.

Notice: IBM does not plan to support IBM i Access for Windows on
operating systems beyond Windows 8.1. The replacement product is IBM i
Access Client Solutions, which includes 5250 emulation, data transfer,
printer output, console support, and more. For information regarding IBM i

I've seen this mentioned here before (that iSeries Access is not
supported on Windows 10). I presume that means the old Client Access
application.
I'm curious how it is that it's working for me and the other techs here.
We access remote clients as well and have had no problem, including using
the 'receive file from host...' on the Actions menu.

What's different for me?



Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey

Has anyone else experienced any problem with the latest Java version
that was released this week running on Windows 10? I have two PCs. One
Windows 7 and one Windows 10 both running the latest java version and both
running the latest i Access Client. The windows 7 PC works fine the Windows
10 PC does not. The windows 10 PC will show the "Loading..." windows and
never leaves that point. I did go to IBM and download Access Client again
to be sure I had the most recent build and it did the same.

Thanks
