Problems Downloading IBM i ACS (Access Client Solutions)?
The new replacement for the aging, creaky AS400 Client Access is the cunningly titled IBM i Access Client Solutions
Download this all new JAVA software is free, as long as you create an IBM Passport Account and once installed it lets you connect to the IBM I System and signon using a terminal emulator (5250), transfer data up and down and a bunch of other neat features…
Let’s go and download IBM i ACS together
If you decide that you do not want to install IBM i ACS, then I would recommend checking out either VSCode and its free integrated 5250 Emulator or use some other combination of free terminal emulator software.
Hi
I was using IBM old version with my office 2013 windows 7 32 bit OS.
Now we are upgrading to windows10 64 bit office 2016 and would like to use the PCOMM class and it fails saying active x component cant create object.
When I open 2 sessions, the second one opens on top of the first. I have 2 sessions open, but can only see one at a time. How do I get to the 2 (or more) sessions in multiple windows ?
Hi Nick, thanks for this discussion. I experience on WIndows 10 a lot delay when starting the acslaunch_win-64.exe.
Is that normal. After the quick black popup, it takes about 5-10 seconds before the Java applets are scanned and then another 10 seconds before the GUI starts. Is that fast according to you ?
Hello I am trying to find 2019 iSeries ODBC Access Driver for Windows. Can you help?
You can download the latest IBM ACS EHLLAPI – Version 8.20.336 from ibm.biz/IBMi_ACS
But, if you are looking for an older version, maybe from the old Client Access for Series, then this might help https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/64-bit-ibm-iseries-access-windows-odbc-driver
Nice article with the most useful Information.
Looked around for this and finally found it here. Thanks! I had to download the latest Java version before it would work, but all is well now.
