The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I use datalinks in several applications.
It adds some overhead, the datalink database server, and some coding rules when creating/retrieving datalinks.
The reason I use it is that you can enforce database record rules on the linked IFS files.
In one application the IFS files must be kept for 6 months. Burning them to optical is not feasible because of the volume, and the short retention period.
The datalink fit our existing process with very few code changes and we can enforce the retention of the IFS files through the database record.

Subject: Store file location on IFS in datalink column
Hi
Has anyone used datalink column to store location of PDF file or any file on IFS folder of AS400, if yes how,
we have these PDF files which are on IFS folder, so instead of saving them in database in blob we would like to create a datalink to these pdf files which we can read and display pdf file using servlet.
