Re: Creating folders from i5/OS V5R4 to on a QNTC share

Hi Jim,
For what it's worth:

• You must share the WIN/NT directory or parent where you want the file placed.
• The path consists of the file system name, the Windows NT server-name, the share-name, the directory and sub-directory names Path names have the following form: /QNTC/Server-name/Share-name/Directory/ . . . /
• The server name may be up to 15 characters long. It must be part of the path.
• The sharename may be up to 12 characters long.
• iSeries support for windows network neighborhood should be configured.
• The QSERVER subsystem must be active.
• NetServer must be started.
• The person/user enter the command must be a registered WIN/NT user with “change” authority to the directory where you want the file placed. The iSeries and WIN/NT password must be the same. The iSeries user may be disabled but the WIN/NT user cannot.
• The iSeries domain must be the same as the WIN/NT domain.

If you are having trouble, check the following:
• Use the WRKLNK command and insure that the destination location exists as a directory in the local machine QFileSvr.directory.
• Logon to the local (source) system as the user and use the OS/400 Copy Object (CPY) command to check your link and authority.
Note: If you have errors about exchanging security information when sending files to the QNTC file system see the following IBM Technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas17d5a24100f2671648625756a006353a1 (QNTC and CPDB053 - Error Exchanging Security Information)

I am trying to automate a save of our IFS web server files on i5/OS. I have
V5R4 installed on the i, and am trying to send the files to an array of
disks attached to a network. This array has an address and the name
"Storage". When I create a folder under QNTC I can see the array and the
folders on the array. I can copy to the array from my PC and from qShell
with the CP fromFile /Storage/MIS/Saves/TEST folder. The size of the file
being copied is 4.5 GB.

What I am unable to do is to create a folder on the disk array from i5/OS.
When I try the mkdir shell command or the MD cl command I get the following;

mkdir
'/qntc/storage/mis/Saves/test'

mkdir: 001-2128 Error found creating directory /qntc/storage/mis/Saves/test.
Unknown system state.

The folder does not exist, and is not created when the command is run.

How can I create a directory from i5/OS? I would like to create a folder on
the fly with a name of my choice that may include the current date and time.

Thanks!

Jim
