Conversion - Option to retain green screen not there

I have just downloaded and (following a small hassle) gotten the Profound UI demo version running.

I have tried the product earlier on another job and there we used the option to maintain green screen functionality when converting old DDS source. This was very neat since it eliminated the need to move all users from ACS or similar 5250 emulators to browser based at the same time.

But when I try and convert now the option is not there any more.

Have I done anything wrong or is it really missing? If that is the case I will have to rework the strategy for future clients and build double environments - old 5250 vs browser.

Hi AhaOhio,

The 'Retain Green Screen' option is disabled in Profound UI by default. However, you can enable this option by setting the pui["enable retain gs"] configuration option to true for your instance. There's more information about All-in-One display files, as well as the configuration option mentioned above, on the following page: https://docs.profoundlogic.com/x/BwAzAQ.

Hope this helps!

Very good - except that I am unable to locate the configuration file.

When I go to the IFS folder /www/yourProfoundInstanceName/htdocs/profoundui/userdata/custom where instance" is LS026Test there are only two folders under there:
- themes
- widgets

According to the page there should be something called "JS" but alas...

The Profound UI installation program will create a 'js' directory. If for some reason it has been removed, you can simply create the directory again.

Also, the 'js' directory isn't technically required. You can put settings in any javascript file you like. Any file that ends in .js that's in any location beneath userdata/custom will work.
