IBM System i Access for Windows V6R1M0 by IBM

IBM System i Access for Windows V6R1M0 is a Windows client suite that enables secure connectivity, data access, and system administration for IBM i (formerly System i, iSeries, AS/400) servers. It integrates IBM i resources into familiar Windows tools and workflows for end users, developers, and administrators.

Key capabilities:

• 5250 display and printer emulation (PC5250) for interactive sessions and printing
• Data Transfer utilities to move data to and from DB2 for i (e.g., Excel/CSV import and export)
• Windows data providers and drivers for DB2 for i, including ODBC, OLE DB, and a .NET Data Provider
• Navigator for i (iSeries Navigator) for system management: users, jobs, printers, subsystems, database, and network services
• File system integration with the IBM i Integrated File System (IFS) and support for mapped network drives via IBM i NetServer
• Remote command and program call support, plus access to message and data queues for custom applications
• Spool file and printer output management
• Secure connectivity with SSL/TLS and support for enterprise authentication/SSO environments

Version context:

• V6R1M0 aligns with the IBM i 6.1 release and succeeds earlier “iSeries Access for Windows” offerings
• Intended for the Windows platforms current at the time (such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003); compatibility with newer Windows versions may require service updates or later releases

Typical users:

• System administrators managing IBM i systems from Windows
• Application developers building Windows applications that connect to DB2 for i
• Business users who need terminal emulation or data transfer between IBM i and desktop tools

This release provides a unified, enterprise-grade toolset to access, manage, and integrate IBM i resources from Windows environments.
