Re: Copying data to a Windows server -- MIDRANGE-L

John:

If your company is at i5/OS V5R3 or better, you can use EIM -- which stands for "Enterprise(-wide) Identity Mapping.".EIM comes bundled with OS/400 V5R3 and above at no extra charge. With EIM, you "map" your Windows userID to your iSeries userID and vice versa, so there is no need to "change" user names on either platform. EIM knows what OS/400 user profile name is associated with what Windows UserID, and vice versa, for each supported platform. This also provides support "SSO" -- "Single Sign-On", which uses Kerberos tokens.

HTH,

Isn't that sort of the whole point of what we do? <vbg> Process
automation and integration

I think I'm with Rob on this... You should just start using the same
profile/password on i and your network, or use Kerberos to authenticate.
Either way, your troubles with network shares will be reduced
dramatically.

People higher up the food chain set up network access here. If this was
a frequent problem, I might be able to get appropriate access
established on that server. But, so far, it isn't. The /QNTC file
system would have been nice to include in the CL I use to build the
files. But, it isn't all that difficult to use my pc for the manual
step. Only advantage of using /QNTC is dropping a manual step, at this
point.

Thanks all, for the suggestions.

Hello John,

You can copy files to your Windows server using the QNTC file system.
Google it and you should find plenty of examples.

If you're looking for a solution that doesn't require QNTC, you can
also set up Windows NFS shares or use a product such as our IFS Tools
product which has native commands for reading and writing files
directly to a Windows share.

Feel free to contact me offline if you would like to learn more about
IFS Tools.

I'm sure this has been dealt with before. Just don't know how to
search for it.

At random intervals, I receive a data request. Data is on the IBM
system (I

really< wish I could remember the name of the day.). Data needs to
be

copied
to a Windows server. I have that share mapped on my pc now. So, I
can copy the files from a share on teh IBM system to a share on the
Windows system.
But, it would be nice to copy the files directly from the IBM system.
The
share is not a visible share, very handy. Security by obscurity,
apparently.

Since I know the network IP address and all that - since I created the
link on my pc, is it possible to do that on the IBM system? AS/400,
System i?
