  • Subject: Re: Uses for IFS Directory

Following are a few of my uses of the IFS:

Store all java source and class files in the IFS.  Class files are executed
directly from the IFS.

Store all static web pages in the IFS.

Store important PC files in the IFS so they can be saved to AS/400 tape.

Have AS/400 applications that dynamically generate stream files which are
served by HTTP and FTP.

Receive FTP files into the IFS.

Have AS/400 programs that write reports to stream files instead of using
spool files.

Have AS/400 programs that use stream files for temporary storage during
program execution.

Log socket (send and recv buffers) to stream files in the IFS.

Don't use the IFS for COLD storage - AS/400 drives are expensive real
estate.

I was wanting to get some ideas as to how you may utilize your IFS
directories.

I know about the QDLS folder already.

Do you have any applications that may create spool files and plug them into
a web
accessible folder?

Do you try and implement some type of storage system like cold storage on
this?

Or how about some type of pc backup strategy using this?

Or maybe some network related functionality with this?

Just curious as to some of your ideas on this.

I definitely would like to utilize this more at our company.

Thanks.
