How To
Summary
IBM i ACS provides a desktop shortcut for the main user interface, and the 5250 session manager.
Is there a way to get a shortcut or icon for Run SQL Scripts?
Objective
The IBM i Access Client Solutions installation scripts also register the IBM i ACS file extensions with the Windows OS.
When registered, a
.hod (5250) or .sql (Run SQL Scripts) file can be saved then double-clicked to open that file in that function.We show a way to create a shortcut in the following text.
Environment
- Copying the IBM i Access Client Solutions Session Manager desktop icon
- Right-click the copied icon and select the properties. Note the 'Target' ends in acslaunch*.exe /plugin=sm (sm = Session Manager)
- Change the 'Target' value. Replace the 'sm' plugin with 'rss'. You can also specify a specific target system to which it should connect by adding the system to the 'Target' in the form '/SYSTEM=PRODUCTION.acme.com'.
- Click 'OK' to save the changes
