RE: Application/IFS issue

As previously stated take this to your developers. If you don't know the answers, you shouldn't be playing with it.

As to if it is admin or developer task, that is a company decision. If it is an admin task and you have not been trained then again, don't touch it if you don't know what you are doing.

Hi Scott,
 
One of the user mentioned to me that the files are not getting copied to IFS Folder probably because the link was broken.
 
Sorry but I am not sure what he meant by link.
 
I have two questions which confuse me:
 
1.Are these links related to IFS on AS400 in any way or are they related to Web?
 
2.If these links point to objects used in file transfer and are part of AS400,then who is responsible for  making the the links functional if they are broken.............the system admins or the developers  ?
 
Request your advice on this as I am totally new to IFS and links and do not have a clue on these broken links
 
Regards
Sneha

Hello Sneha,

Has this got anything to do with links?One of the users mentioned
that the link was broken sometimes back.

Can you elaborate on this?  What do you mean by "links"?  Do you mean
hard links?  Symbolic links?  (HTML links? Sausage links?)  what do you
mean?

Do these links point to objects used in your file transfer?

When you say "broken", what does that mean exactly?  A symbolic link
pointing to an object that doesn't exist?  Normally the phrase "broken
link" refers to an HTML link that points to a web page that doesn't
exist, which doesn't seem to have anything whatsoever to do with your
question.

Please clarify.

Are links being created programatically?Will they affect the copying
of files to IFS folder?

Good grief.  How are /we/ supposed to know how /your/ links get created?
