Re-enabling a NetServer User

Users may have an issue with accessing a mapped network drive that’s setup for them to drop files directly into the IFS of the iSeries server via their Windows session

As some companies don’t have integration between the two systems, they can create picks and drop them into this mapped drive which pulls them into IWMS, where they are then released from ‘Manage Demand Release’.

An error may look like the one below:

First, you will need to setup Netserver via a GoB session.

1. Create the target library. NETSRVCMD can be replaced with the library name of your choice.

CRTLIB LIB(NETSRVCMD) TEXT('i5/OS NetServer menu and commands')

2. Expand the necessary files:

CALL QUSRTOOL/UNPACKAGE PARM('*ALL ' 1)

3. Create the installation program:

CRTCLPGM NETSRVCMD/TZLSINST QUSRTOOL/QATTCL

4. Call the installer to create the GO NETS menu:

CALL NETSRVCMD/TZLSINST NETSRVCMD

5. Add the new library to the library list:

ADDLIBLE NETSRVCMD

6. Display GO NETS menu:

Access the NETS menu, by using command: GO MENU (NETS)
