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
  1. Open Device Manager.
  2. From the Home menu ribbon, Manage panel, select Applications.
  3. From the Manage Applications dialog click Add to open the Add Application dialog.
  4. In the Description parameter, enter Client Access ‘System Name’, for example 'Client Access Dev123'.
  5. In the Executable parameter, either type the path of where the required emulator .ws file is stored or use the Browse icon 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.
  1. Click OK to confirm and add the client access application.
