Troubleshooting
Problem
The Menu Bar Customization Bar Utility feature can be started in “IBM I Access Client Solutions – Session manager” by selecting
“Tools” -> “Customize Menu Bar …..”
In some cases this option “Customize Menu Bar …..” is not shown.
Symptom
User is unable to customize the session window for removal of menu items or separator lines
Cause
It depends on the showMenuBarConfigTool property in acssm.ini.
With a default installation of ACS, acssm.ini file can be found in the configuration location
C:\Users\<Windows User Account>\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator or
C:\Users\Public\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator
The configuration location can be changed by setting the property:
com.ibm.iaccess.AcsBaseDirectory
This property exists inside the AcsConfig.properties file.
The following line within the acssm.ini specifies if the utility is available or not:
showMenuBarConfigTool=true -> “Customize Menu Bar… “ is shown
showMenuBarConfigTool=false -> “Customize Menu Bar… “ is not shown
This a manually action to change the acssm.ini file using your favorite editor.
Environment
IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS)
Resolving The Problem
In order to show the option “Customize Menu Bar …”, verify your acssm.ini file that the property showMenuBarConfigTool is set to true, if not use your favorite editor to change that property from false into true. After this change restart IBM i Access Client Solutions and the menu option “Customize Menu Bar …” should be shown.
