Re: QNTC question

Pete,

Unless there's a huge number of files, the directory listing shouldn't
take that long.

I'm wondering if you're being bit by the i's default setting to browse
the Windows network to determine what servers should show in QNTC.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=%2Fifs%2Frzaaxqntcvariables.htm

QNTC environment variables

The network browsing behavior of QNTC can be controlled by two
environment variables. Support for these environment variables began
in i5/OS® V5R4. Use the ADDENVVAR CL command to create these
environment variables.
--QZLC_SERVERLIST
When this environment variable is set to "2", all servers that appear
in the /QNTC directory in the integrated file system can be accessed
by QNTC. This was the default behavior before V5R4. When this variable
is not set to "2" or has not been created, some servers that appear in
the /QNTC directory might not be accessible.

--QIBM_ZLC_NO_BROWSE
When this environment variable is set to "1", the /QNTC directory will
only contain servers that were created with the MKDIR CL command or
mkdir() API. The performance of many operations against the QNTC file
system will improve when this environment variable has been set. But
all /QNTC directories need to be created using the CL command.

HTH,
Charles

So, what is the format?

I usually make sure I can ping the host, then, assuming I have an
account on the host domain that exactly matches my user name and
password on the i, I do something like this:
qsh
$ cd /QNTC
$ mkdir SFTORSOS
$ cd SFTORSOS/perse
$ ls
