We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal - https://ideas.ibm.com/ - Use this site to create or search for existing Ideas across all IBM products that are outside of Power, and track all of your personal interactions with all Ideas.
The requested support is already available. Please contact IBM Service if additional help is needed.
Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. The behavior you are requesting already exists and functions as you are requesting.
In your Description you state:
???We have entered the restrictions inside the AcsConfig.properties-file. So far so good. When the users then open a 5250-Session (=HOD-Session) from the iACS-headmenu they find a toolbar with all icons and with access to functions we have restricted in the AcsConfig.properties-file"
This would be considered a defect, not an enhancement. However, we have been unable to reproduce the above described behavior. If however, you opened the 5250 session from the Desktop and not from the ACS main GUI, you are likely invoking a configuration for ACS that is not using the AcsConfig.properties file that contains the restrictions. Since this is a network installation, the root cause is going to be that your customized AcsConfig.properties file is not getting propagated to your users. One reason that can happen is if your users already had an AcsConfig.properties file present. If that is the case, an update will not overwrite an existing AcsConfig.properties file.
I see you opened IBM support Case TS008450059. After reviewing the Case, apparently our Service team was not able to determine the reason why this is not working for you. You should not have to modify the .hod files to get the desired behavior. In fact, that could cause additional issues and is discouraged. I will contact the Service team about this. Please contact our Service team again and refer to your previous support Case (TS008450059) and this RFE. They will work with the Development team for additional assistance.
Setting this RFE to ???Need More Information". Let us know when you have contacted Service.
