Re: iACS for the Web

[Don Brown <DBrown@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I started out searching for IBM iACS Web Access.

What I found was IBM i Access for Web - See 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzamm/rzammpdf.pdf

I think you are correct that there is not a web option with IBM i Access 
Client Solutions ?

So the question is does anyone use this in a production environment and if 
so with what levels of success ?

Or is there any other option included with the "Client Access" licensing 
from IBM that would be a better option for Browser access to traditional 
green screen applications ?

I know there are many 3rd part applications for this but that is not the 
required option.

Thanks

Don Brown

Hi Don

I must admit to being a bit confused - iACS is not a meaningful acronym, 
seems to me, and causes confusion. So a couple questions?

Do you mean Access Client Solutions?

Or do you mean IBM i Access for Web?

They are not the same, and so far as I know, there is no web version of 
Access Client Solutions - it is a Java-based client, not browser-based.

Hope this clarifies things - the new product name has been kind of 
confusing for folks, methinks.

Cheers
Vern
