RE: 5250 session shortcut

I've never had to run the File Associations.

On Windows 7 I just create a shortcut to the Executable and pass it my bchx file as a parameter.
Then I set the icon for my shortcut and then run it. It opens my tabbed sessions.
Then in Windows I Pin the group to my task bar after its started.

Shortcut Target:
C:\IBM\IBM_i_ACS\Start_Programs\Windows_i386-32\acslaunch_win-32.exe "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\400tabed.bchx"

By bchx file contains all of my sessions opened into tabs, with exact location on both my screens.

Contents of my 400tabed.bchx:
[Profile]
ID=BCHX
Version=2
[Batch]
Run1=bchx5250 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\400DEVL.hod -s=A -w=1 -t=0 -p=106,95 -d=1143,725
Run2=bchx5250 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\400DEVL.hod -s=B -w=2 -t=0 -p=1354,63 -d=1141,723
Run3=bchx5250 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\400prod.hod -s=C -w=1 -t=1 -p=106,95 -d=1143,725
Run4=bchx5250 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\400prod.hod -s=D -w=2 -t=1 -p=1354,63 -d=1141,723

Subject: 5250 session shortcut

Hi,

With the new IBMi access (java version) is it possible to put a session shortcut on the desktop - or do you have to start a session thru the session manager?

Thanks

Kevin
