ibm i access client solutions-windows- hosted/roaming $user$/home support

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

IBM i Access doesn't seem to respect Window's $User$/home paths for roaming profiles. Options in iACS to 'save items to desktop' will create a local desktop directory and download an item there instead of downloading to the hosted/roaming desktop directory. ACS installation seems to respect roaming profiles okay, creating dirs in the roaming/documents directory, but the more end-user facing functions do not.


Use Case:

Use case - end user on a thin client wants to copy their configured 5250 session to the desktop. They right click on the session in Session Manager and click copy to desktop and nothing happens. Going into Printers and downloading a splf to desktop results in same behavior.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. Since ACS is a multi-platform application, it relies on properties set by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). These JVM properties are set differently based on the environment and OS where it is being run. In some cases, the JVM properties can be overridden at application startup. Such is the case with the user.home property. For example:
    Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_win-64.exe -Duser.home=C:\Setting user.home may give you the behavior you need. You may also get the desired behavior by setting the Windows environment variable HOMEPATH (assuming the JVM being used sets user.home based on HOMEPATH).

    At this time, we have decided to Decline this request.
