Re: Moving files between multiple AS/400s using a mouse

When you have directory S10A11AA in QFileSvr.400, and then switch to this
directory, what the system does is:

- tries to connect using TCP/IP, using hostname S10A11AA (including all DNS
resolution etc.). If you want full hostname, create directory with the full
host name of AS/400 (S10A11AA.somedomain.someotherdomain).
- if it fails, it will try to connect using APPN, using S10A11AA as
location name and whatever is configured in network attributes for APPN
network ID. If you want full APPN location name, create directory with
fully-qualified name as networkID.S10A11AA.

What you see is, that system cannot find a network path to remote system (
S10A11AA).
When APPN will be able to find a path to remote system, with default
settings the connection will still fail, because of security violation.
File server support does not report any user ID to remote system, which is
not allowed.
You will need to add communications entry to subsystem on a target system
to allow file server support to use some default user profile (file server
support uses QSOCCT APPC mode, if I remember it correctly.)
To avoid security hole, you will have to create APPN remote configuration
lists on both systems and declare them to each other as secure locations
with a location password associated with it.

The command MD 'QFileSvr.400/S10A11AA' was entered. I
didn't see it done, but I was told it worked ok.

In Operations Navigator, I click on the local system (the one
here in Minneapolis that I'm attached to with Ethernet and
TCP/IP). It asks for my UserID and Password. It then shows
me the tree and I pick File Servers. I choose QFileSvr and it
shows me S10A11AA. When I click on that, it takes a few
minutes and I get a message "An error occurred while
retreiving directories and files. Please check your communications
path to the AS/400". The remote AS/400 is located in the
Quad Cities (IA). It is connected via a 56k phone line using
SNADS. That will be changed to a T1 line using TCP/IP in a
few months. Will this work with our setup? The local AS/400
is at V4R2 and the remote is at V4R3. Both will be updated
to V4R4 later in the year.

Thanks. Joe Teff
