  • 1.  Access Client Solutions for a user on multiple PCs

    Posted Thu October 20, 2022 06:20 PM
    Is it possible to install ACS on one PC for a user and then copy all their ACS related files to other PCs that they login to?

    Does ACS have to be installed, first, on each PC they will access?

    If nothing else, I wish to copy the list of systems (and associated system properties in "Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Settings\client.configuration\"?) to their other PCs.

    Dear Joe

    IBM i ACS is designed such that it doe NOT need any installation at all, except some associated components such as OBBC driver that is designed to be installed. Just copy the ACS package files into a Windows PC or any computer with other OSes that has JRE and run the ACS file  acsbundle.jar.  Or you can copy ACS package files into one shared central location where all users can access and run it.  The files you asked in your last questions should be created and managed automatically by ACS. 

    What high level goal(s) do you want to achieve when you asked your questions above?   I'm guessing your questions are about customization and deployment of IBM i ACS.  If this is the case, please study this article : IBM i Access Client Solutions: Customization and deployment made easy

    Hi all,

    (Not sure if it's advisable, but I've determined that I could copy a complete "settings" folder [specifically for the list of environments] to a PC with a fresh install of ACS without apparent problems.)

    After the install, and opening the ACS product app, the list of environments was there.
