aXes Management Console
Definitions
aXes automatically transforms IBM i 5250 applications into browser-based applications and includes tools to customize and modernize the design and layout of the user interface. aXes supports all standard web browsers, and no software is required to be installed on the client device.
With the new aXes management console in 4.2.1, aXes administrators no longer need to perform the tedious and error prone task of programmatically modifying a file to configure and manage the settings of their aXes instance and web server. Configurations and changes can be quickly made through an easy-to-use web interface by simply toggling settings on/off, selecting from available configurations, copying configurations, and more.
Parameters
The parameters used in the Management Console are defined below.
id
ID used in the naming of the outbound GET and API queue names in the AXESJSM subsystem

This parameter enables the attention ATN key.
Enable ATN and SYS Req keysDefault:
value="true"
process.read.flags
This parameter runs through all IBM i fields with read flags and and processes their value on the server to make sure they are displayed properly on the client. True turn this feature on, False turn this feature off.
Default:

If a character set identifier is specified then a value must also be specified for the DefaultWorkstationCodepage directive. |
Default:
value="0"
device.codepage
Specifies the code page used when creating a workstation device. If not specified the value used depends on the setting for device.charset
When device.charset=Keyboard the code page associated with the device keyboard type is used.
When DefaultWorkstationCharset=Sysval the code page defined in the QCHRID system value is used. Otherwise a code page must be specified.
|
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
| codepage identifier | Specify the codepage identifier to use. This value is a number between 1 and 32767 and must be a valid codepage identifier. |
See the International Application Development book for information about valid code pages.
Default:
value="0"
device.keyboard
Specifies the type of keyboard for workstations device created by aXes Terminal Server. The allowable values are:
Sysval Specifies that aXes Terminal Server will automatically determine the device type to use based on the setting of the QIGC system value. If this system value is set to ‘1’ then a dual-size (27*132) DBCS-capable device (5555-C01) will be created, otherwise a dual-size (27*132) SBCS device (3487-HC) is created.
IBM i VRM530 is inherently a DBCS capable system therefore aXes Terminal Server will create a DBCS-capable device.
type Specifies the keyboard type aXes Terminal Server will use when creating a workstation device. The Keyboard Types table shows allowable type values.
The Keyboard Types table shows the keyboard type and the associated countries.
