Allow "Save As" when creating a console session through ACS System Configuration

When creating a console session through ACS System Configuration, the options are "Save" or "Save as multiple sessions."  We would like these sessions to be saved with the other HOD files when 5250 Session Manager is opened, aand a "Save As" function that allows this would make it much easier.

    If you want to have a 5250 console session in the 5250 Session Manager window, you can create a new display session and enter the HMC as the destination address and port 2300 (non-secure!) or 2301 (TLS/SSL encrypted).

    This will connect to the HMC instead of to an IBM i system / partition, and you will be able to select the system + partition console to connect to.

    You can also add macros to guide the user to a specific system + partition once logged in.


    Best regards,

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). We do not have any plans to combine the location of the saved console sessions with the non-console sessions.
