when using the /PLUGIN=checkupdates show the current and target version, ie 1.1.9.8, of ACS

please show the system name or directory location from where the update is originating.

this will be helpful to make sure of the target version that is being updated.

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). The checkversion plugin already includes the information for the current version being used. So we will not be adding that information to the checkupdates plugin. When there is a configured system for installing updates, we will consider adding the system name for clarification.
