Re: Force refresh on Netserver Shared Folder on Windows -- MIDRANGE-L

Ya, the issue we found out was that they are on V5R4 and were not up on
PTFs so Netserver only half works.

I do believe we've worked around this issue using FTP... we FTP the files
to the PC locally, it will do it's conversion and place the resulting file
in the IFS share. Not a huge issue... just another case of by the time
they do update to V7Rx the latest os will be v9rx. :)

but both of them require fast processing of the files, and other than
the shares not remounting after weekly maintenance occasionally, we
haven't had any issues. So I know it's possible, just not how they are
doing it.

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

If it's something you coded yourself, just list the files yourself

any good polling app would do and problem solved.

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?
