RE: FW: IFS symbolic link library mapping

There are a couple tools that will let you see a data PF. Operations 
Navigator will allow this, under the Databases heading. This, however, 
assumes SQL access, so it knows nothing about multiple members.

If you have an ODBC driver on your PC, you can use Excel or MS Access. With 
Excel, you can make changes, then upload the file (requires Client Access 
Data Transfer). With Access, I think that changes you make are sent up, if 
you open the files as a link. I'm not sure, it's been awhile.

Another product is Surveyor, by Linoma Software - free for single 
non-corporate use. It's like DFU/DBU/EasyView on steroids.

BTW, if, in OpsNav, you go through File Systems, integrated File System, 
etc., to get to a member, the restrictions are the same as with NetServer.

Good luck
