  • 1.  ACS Plugins - JavaVM passable arguments

    Posted Thu March 30, 2023 09:21 AM

    Hi there, 

    I'm getting more fimilar with using ACS as a command line tool and I'm wondering if there is some documentation about all the arguments which could be passed down to ACS like com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal or com.ibm.iaccess.dataxfer.SheetId. 

    If there are no docs about then it may be that someone can explain com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal to me?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Best wishes

    Peter

    Dear Peter

    Have you see this 74-page presentation that provides examples of using com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal (perhaps in a way you are familiar with already)? : New Habits for Managing and Accessing IBM i at  https://www.midrange-events.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/New-Habits-for-Managing-and-Accessing-IBM-i_Tim-Rowe_IBM-.pdf   But it does not explain anything about com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal. 

    This Technote provides example of the use of com.ibm.iaccess.dataxfer.SheetId (again with no explanation) : HOW TO USE PLUGIN/cldownload with Colheadings and usecollabels ACS at  https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6567579.

    Dear Satid, 

    thank you for your reply! 
    Yes, I already know both documents and they explain how to use the command in a way I'm fimiliar with. :-D 

    Just wondered if there is a document around which explains the option like com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal a little bit more in detail. 

    Maybe I'm wrong but it makes no difference if use that option or not. At least directly on IBMi. 

    Best Wishes
