IBM i Access for Web (5770-XH2) changes

IBM® i Access for Web (5770-XH2) changes.

7.2 IBM i Access for Web PTF SI56971 must be applied on your IBM i partition.

If you currently have a configured, running version of IBM i Access for Web on your IBM i partition, after upgrading to IBM i 7.3, you must run the Configure Access for Web (CFGACCWEB) command again for each configured web application server environment before you can use the product.

If you currently have IBM i Access for Web configured in a web application server environment which is not supported on IBM i 7.3 (such as a version 7.1 or version 8.1 integrated web application server instance), you must migrate the configuration to a supported web application server environment (such as a version 8.5 integrated web application server instance). IBM i Access for Web can migrate user-generated data from an unsupported web application server environment to a new web application server environment. To migrate user-generated data, use the CFGACCWEB command and specify values for the SRCSVRTYPE, SRCSVRINST, SRCAPPSVR, SRCINSDIR, and SHRUSRDTA parameters. User-generated data will only be migrated the first time the CFGACCWEB command is used to configure a web application server environment. IBM i Access for Web also allows you to remove the IBM i Access for Web configuration from an unsupported web application server environment using the Remove Access for Web (RMVACCWEB) command. Be sure that the latest 7.2 IBM i Access for Web PTFs are applied before attempting to migrate or remove configurations.
