Re: Force refresh on Netserver Shared Folder on Windows

Thanks, Richard.

It's a 3rd party redaction app running as a service on the PC.

Normally for other projects we used QNTC and it worked fine, but we wanted
to try something easier. The PC application guys are looking into what
they can do. I'm surprised it doesn't work though... their software
watches a directory for a new file to process. Apparently their app is
doing something odd or different to trigger the process when it sees a new
file (which, as mentioned, is a Netserver share on the IFS of the IBM i).

It seems that your PC app might be based on the FileSystem watcher event

If it's something you coded yourself, just list the files yourself as any
good polling app would do and problem solved.

subject: Force refresh on Netserver Shared Folder on Windows

Hey everybody!

Question.. the old netserver for IBM i was odd as it didn't refresh the
directory listing automatically. This is for a V5R4 machine.

For example, lets say your on a PC and viewing the contents of a shared IFS
directory. Someone puts a file there (through the share from another PC,
FTP, CPYTOSTMF, etc)... you won't know until you refresh/F5.

I have a PC application that is watching a shared IFS directory for files.
This issue means it doesn't work and won't fire off.

Are there any settings for netserver and/or on the windows PC that will fix
this?
