Portal Admin Apps - 5250

[opendave]

In V6, when I configure a 5250 app I get an error message about IBM i Access for Web. I know we are using Fusion now, so I guess we need to configure 5250 apps differently? I want to be able to launch specific 5250 apps directly instead of navigating through the signon screens.

Is there any documentation on setting this up for Fusion?

Thanks!

Yes, for Fusion Apps in Valence 6 you need to set up a macro to get to the screen you want and then reference the macro in the app path. Don't set the app to 5250, which is the "Legacy" IBM i Access for Web mode. Set it up as a regular app with additional parameters, as described here:

(Note: You can now record Macros inside the Fusion app using the record button - the documentation still says that feature is pending).
