How to set IBM i Access Client Solutions Properties?
Cause
IBM i Access Client Solutions provides several different properties that can be used to impact the behavior of the client.
Answer
IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) properties can be set or modified in several different ways. Each of those methods are discussed further below:
|
1. | Using the Command line. Using the command line means using Windows Command Prompt or MAC/Linux Terminal. You can pass ACS properties using the operating system specific binaries or the java -jar acsbundle.jar. Examples (This would exclude data transfer on launch): acslaunch_win-64.exe -Dcom.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps=DATAXFER or java -jar acsbundle.jar -Dcom.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps=DATAXFER From the command line, you must use the -D immediately followed by the property. Also note that you can specify more than one property by separating each with a comma. |
| 2. | Using the AcsConfig.properties file. You may edit the AcsConfig.properties file and simply modify, uncomment, or add a property. There are actually two AcsConfig.properties files. One is located outside of the acsbundle.jar, and one is located within the acsbundle.jar. JAR files are beyond the scope of this document; they are essentially a compressed set of folders and files. You can use a utility application such as 7-zip to open, view, and modify the contents of a JAR file. The external file is always used by default meaning if you modify the one within the jar file. It will not work until you remove the external AcsConfig.properties file. An example of a property setting in the ACSConfig.properties file would be as follows: com.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps=DATAXFER Each property is added on its own line. |
