Set PC5250 files location for all users

The default location in which PC5250 emulator searches and stores all files for all defined users is shared by all the users of a PC although some may not have authority to write to it.

The default location is:

(iSeries™ Access for Windows^® installation folder)\emulator\private

This default location can be changed by each authorized user from the PC5250 tab of iSeries Access for Windows Properties. To change this default location for all users at once, the administrator can use the CWBCFG command from a command prompt, specifying the /pc5250path option.

Notes:

Any user account created after CWBCFG is run uses the default location set by CWBCFG.
Only Administrators can use CWBCFG.
CWBCFG does not move any files from the old to the new location. Files must be moved manually, if desired.

For more information about CWBCFG, see the online iSeries Access for Windows User's Guide.
