RE: accessing PC directory from system I

Bob,

What I've done in the past was to use the Profile Swap APIs to acquire a
specific user account, before trying to access the QNTC folder (or the
NFS mount directory). Using the swap profile api allows you to use a
standardized network service account. For any process that needs to
push or pull from a network file server, you only need to grant access
to the service account, simplifying the authority management needed on
the network side...

Get Profile Handle ExtPgm('QSYGETPH')
Swap Profile Handle ExtPgm('QWTSETP')
Release Profile Handle ExtPgm('QSYRLSPH')

Hth,
-Eric DeLong

OK, I was beginning to think the same thing. Since our I profiles don't
match our LAN profiles, it was going to be a mess. We don't use any kind

of single sign on products here either.

HMM wonder if those discs from my old S20 in the garage would work. S20
to
power 6 , no I don't see that happening.

Due

to the cost of power 6 disks compared to standard PC disks, we want to
store the pictures on the PC servers .

Neither NFS nor QNTC work reliably enough to make this a feasible
approach. Go buy more disks. Get used ones. They work just as well and
will still be covered under maintenance.
