IBM i Access for Web (5770-XH2)

IBM® i Access for Web (5770-XH2) changes

Before you install IBM i Access for Web:

If you currently have a configured, running version of IBM i Access for Web on your IBM i system, you must run the IBM i Access for Web configuration commands again when you install the new version before you can use the product. Running the command enables the new function that is provided with the new release. When you run the Configure Access for Web (CFGACCWEB) command for the WebSphere® Application Server environments, be aware that the value specified for the WASPRF parameter is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown in the /QIBM/UserData/Access/Web2/config/instances.properties file. For detailed instructions on installing and upgrading the product and running the configuration commands, see the IBM i Access for Web topic in the IBM Knowledge Center: IBM i Access for Web.

Web application servers and WebSphere Portal environments:

If you currently have a configured, running version of IBM i Access for Web on your IBM i system, that web application server environment might no longer be supported by IBM i Access for Web. You must migrate your IBM i Access for Web configuration to a supported web application server. For additional information, see the IBM i Access for Web topic in the IBM Knowledge Center: IBM i Access for Web.

7.2 IBM i Access for Web can migrate user-generated data from an unsupported web application server environment to a supported web application server environment when new web application servers are configured. You can migrate user-generated data by using the CFGACCWEB command and specifying input for the SRCSVRTYPE, SRCSVRINST, SRCAPPSVR, SRCINSDIR, and SHRUSRDTA parameters.

7.2 IBM i Access for Web also allows you to remove the IBM i Access for Web configuration from the unsupported web application server environment using the Remove Access for Web (RMVACCWEB) command. Be sure that the latest 7.2 IBM i Access for Web PTFs are loaded and applied before attempting to migrate from or remove unsupported web application server environment configurations.
