IBM i Client Access Applications
A client access application can be created for when access to an IBM i device is directly required from within the Enterprise Console.
NOTE: The IBM emulator software must be running on the same device as that on which Device Manager is installed.
A separate .WS file must be created for each IBM i device to be added.
TIP: It is recommended that each of these are named as the system name.ws to ensure connection to the correct device.
To create an IBM i Client Access Application
- Open Device Manager.
- From the toolbar ribbon, click
to open the Manage Applications dialog.
- From the Manage Applications dialog click Add to open the Add Application dialog.
- In the Description parameter, enter Client Access ‘System Name’, for example 'Client Access Dev123'.
- In the Executable parameter, either type the path of where the required emulator .ws file is stored or use
Browse to search for and automatically enter the file path.
NOTE: If the Browse option is used, change the search parameters to look for ‘All Files’ and not just ‘Program’ files.
- Click OK to confirm and add the client access application.
