I am neither a hacker nor doing social engineering.I am disappointed by such comments which this gentleman has just made.
I am new to IFS and issue of broken links is confusing me.
All I want to know is that if the links are broken can they be repaired by running some CL commands or do they involve coding which has to be done to map the links to objects used in file transfer.

Sharon:   my instinct and $.02 on this is that this person
is a hacker doing "social engineering" and your advice to
him is on target.  Hopefully I am just paranoid.

Thanks for your thoughtful postings!

Thanks Sharon.
I manage the AS400 systems alone and there is no body to
train me.From system admin point what should I be doing to
make the links functional. Can you please let me know the
steps?Does it involve coding? If creating the links back
again involves coding,then I am going to pass it to the
developers. Pls let me know as this is getting urgent for
the users. RegardsSneha

As previously stated take this to your developers. If you
don't know the answers, you shouldn't be playing with it.

As to if it is admin or developer task, that is a company
decision.? If it is an admin task and you have not been
trained then again, don't touch it if you don't know what
you are doing.

Hi Scott,
?
One of the user mentioned to me that the files are not
getting copied to IFS Folder probably because the link was
broken. ?
Sorry but?I am not sure what he meant by link.
?
I have two questions which confuse me:
?
1.Are these links related to IFS on AS400 in any way or are
they related to Web? ?
2.If these links point to objects used in file transfer and
are part of AS400,then who is responsible for??making the
the links functional if they are broken.............the
system admins or the developers??? ?
Request your advice on this as I am totally new to IFS and
links and do not have a clue on these broken links ?
Regards
Sneha
?

Hello Sneha,

Has this got anything to do with links?One of the users
mentioned that the link was broken sometimes back.

Can you elaborate on this?? What do you mean by "links"??
Do you mean  hard links?? Symbolic links?? (HTML links?
Sausage links?)? what do you  mean?

Do these links point to objects used in your file transfer?

When you say "broken", what does that mean exactly?? A
symbolic link  pointing to an object that doesn't exist??
Normally the phrase "broken  link" refers to an HTML link
that points to a web page that doesn't  exist, which
doesn't seem to have anything whatsoever to do with your
question.

Please clarify.


Are links being created programatically?Will they affect
the copying of files to IFS folder?


Good grief.? How are /we/ supposed to know how /your/ links
get created? --
