Question & Answer


Question

How to conveniently work with the IFS using Access Client Solutions

Answer

Here are two ways to open an IFS user interface:

1) From within a Access Client Solutions:
  1. From the main menu, click Integrated File System
  2. From a 5250 session, click Actions > Integrated File System

2) Shortcut on the desktop (assuming Windows)
At this time, short-cuts need to be created manually.
  1. Use Windows explorer and navigate to the .exe used to launch ACS (eg acslaunch_win-64.exe)
  2. Right-click it and select "Create shortcut"
  3. Drag the newly created shortcut to the desktop
  4. Right-click it on the desktop and select Properties
  5. Select the Shortcut tab (if not already selected)
  6. Modify the Target so that "/plugin=ifs /system=yoursystemname" is after acslaunch_win-64.exe
