Re: Re: VSS plug-in with WDSC for iSeries -- WDSCI-L

yup, you found the problem.
In your above example, the .iseries_srcpf_metadata is a folder created as a
child folder of the folder representing the srcpf.
This folder holds all metadata for the srcpf itself, and for all members
inside the srcpf. The .NSR060.RPGLE_properties is the metadata for the
member that you have called NSR060.RPGLE.

Hope this helps,
