RE: List of file share corrupted

IBM has a test PTF out which will remove that blank share after the upgrade to 7.4 so it won't require a refresh. No special action as the next time you do a STRTCPSVR *NETSVR after this PTF is applied it will remove the blank share.

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE73116 :
-----------------------------------------------
After an upgrade to IBM i 7.4, the list of IBM i NetServer
shares contains a blank entry which cannot be removed.
NetServer does not make a blank share available to clients, and
server function works normally.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE73116 :
-----------------------------
The IBM i NetServer share configuration file
(/QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetServer/QAZLSSHR) required a format
change that was performed on first touch of the configuration
file. An extra control entry that appears when the shares are
viewed through the IBM i NetServer APIs or IBM Navigator for i
was added during file conversion.
The PTF removes the extra control entry from the configuration
file and prevents the control entry from being displayed in the
future.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE73116 :
--------------------------------
None.

ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS :
-------------------------

None.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS :
----------------------
ENDTCPSVR *NETSVR before applying or removing the PTF.
STRTCPSVR *NETSVR after applying or removing the PTF.

DEFAULT INSTRUCTIONS :
----------------------
THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
