Hi
Is there any special process we have to run on AS400 to enable datalink, how
does database know to watch files in IFS folder?

I use datalinks in several applications.

It adds some overhead, the datalink database server, and some coding rules
when creating/retrieving datalinks.

The reason I use it is that you can enforce database record rules on the
linked IFS files.
In one application the IFS files must be kept for 6 months. Burning them to
optical is not feasible because of the volume, and the short retention
period.

The datalink fit our existing process with very few code changes and we can
enforce the retention of the IFS files through the database record.

Subject: Store file location on IFS in datalink column

Hi
Has anyone used datalink column to store location of PDF file or any file
on IFS folder of AS400, if yes how,

we have these PDF files which are on IFS folder, so instead of saving them
in database in blob we would like to create a datalink to these pdf files
which we can read and display pdf file using servlet.
