Check for the user's Directory Entry. This is needed for ANY access to QDLS, as I recall. Perhaps some directory entries did not migrate correctly...

Subject: Netserver shares after V7R1 Upgrade
Hi All
I did a V7R1 upgrade on the weekend (3rd one in the last 7 days...)
and everything went according to plan with the exception of
re-establishing windows shared folders afterwards. The customer was a
little unclear on what was occurring but they were getting messages on
the Windows box(es) along the lines of "Not enough storage is
available to complete this operation" when they tried to access the
shared folder. If they disconnected and reconnected then the share
worked as expected.
We loaded C1116710 and the latest groups and Hipers on the box as part
of the upgrade. I did a little searching but was unable to come up
with anything related to shares and V7R1, although I didn't really
expect to, but there was clearly an issue. The shares were primarily
against QDLS and there was a mix of specific and guest profiles
involved. There wasn't anything I could identify as common to all of
them other than that they were Windows boxes that had a share
established. Rebooting the boxes also seemed to fix the problem.
That started me thinking that it probably wasn't really an iSeries
problem, but more likely some kind of Windows share issue. The main
difference between the upgrade outage and other outages like systems
saves is that the system was unavailable for much longer. I'm
wondering whether Windows marks the shared drives inaccessible or
unavailable after some period of time so that the only option is to
reconnect the share. Is there any documentation anyone knows of that
would support or clarify why the shares would stop operating ? Anyone
had any similar experience or developed a work around for this kind of
scenario ?
Just for the record: I'm not really a fan of Windows Shares, and even
less a fan of using QDLS, but history and the widespread use of
commodity software is against me.
