  • 1.  Access Client Solutions on one PC with multiple users

    Posted Tue August 15, 2023 08:26 PM

    Hi.  Is it possible to have -- on one PC -- ACS with a specific AcsConfig.Properties for each user of that PC?

    In my environment, users can share a PC.  Some users of that PC might only need the simplest ACS configuration (e.g., everything in the General section -- Data Transfer, 5250 emulator, etc.).  And other users may need Run SQL Scripts or 5250 Session Manager.

    Dear Joe

    You can install IBM i ACS for each individual user in the same PC.    After logging on to Windows client with a user ID, run the file install_acs_32/64.js  provided in Windows_Application directory.  Successful single-user install will copy the application to this path:  /Users/user_id/IBM/ClientSolutions/

    Hi Satid.  Thanks, I am aware we can "install IBM i ACS for each individual user in the same PC."

    So, is that the best way to deploy ACS on a PC with users with varied privileged uses of ACS?

    >>>>   is that the best way to deploy ACS on a PC with users with varied privileged uses of ACS? <<<<

    When you run install_acs_32/64.js under each Windows user ID, the install script asks whether you want to use various functions of ACS and you answer accordingly and ACS will also install each function accordingly.  This satisfies what you asked originally.  Each Windows user will see only the ACS functions you answer yes for in their Windows environment.
