Re: Understand and removal of QNTC definitions

Rob,

Great info - now it makes sense.

After all the reading I may start using /QNTC, where it makes sense to.
However, much of our movement of data and images is very, very large, where
it seems other methods are more appropriate.

Let's look at a system with that environment variable set to the default
of browse like heck.

I do a
WRKLNK '/QNTC/GDL164'
and I see a list of shares on my laptop.
I try
RD '/QNTC/GDL164'
CPFB058-The network server GDL164 was not removed.
CPFA0D4-File system error occurred. Error number 3464.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPFB058
Cause . . . . . : Network server GDL164 was not removed since it was not

added by the MKDIR command. A server that was added by the IBM i
NetClient
(QNTC) file system browsing feature can not be removed from the list.
Recovery . . . : To remove the server from the list, the server service
on
the network server must be turned off.

On a large system we have a /QNTC with many hundreds of links.
At one point, a decade ago, someone fooled around with using /QNTC to
transfer data with Win servers and desktops. That was halted long ago, but
all these links exist.
Operations would like to delete them all.
I will admit to not truly understanding /QNTC and after considerable
reading, I can't say I understand it any more.

In OPS Nav, under File Shares - there are none for /QNTC (but there are
a few for / (ROOT) and we are working towards changing that..

We do have several products that interface with both i and Win servers,
but
we believe this is not via QNTC - we asked and they responded with ...
what
is QNTC? (one product still uses QDLS..)

So can I verify if any links are in use? in Ops Nav, right click a link,
and properties seems to do something that causes it to show as active or
in
use (it has a last use of date time when I asked to show properties...

If I remove a link in QNTC (either OPS Nav or WRKLNK) I assume I'm only
removing a "definition" to that Win PC or server... is that a true
statement?

Assuming no one sets up each one of these links, how do they automatically
get created?
