Is it possible to redirect folders on the as400 (IFS) to a network folder
We have a program that is currently outputting to an IFS folder on the i-seriers (as400). Is there a way (as we do not have access to the program source) to redirect the folder to a network drive (we wish to have the contents going to that folder redirected to a different network folder
I don't know of a direct method to redirect an existing IFS directory, but it is not difficult to code an exit point program that monitors the creation of new files in a given IFS directory, waits until the file is closed, and then moves the file to a new location.
Registered exit point programs are called automatically by the operating system whenever the underlying event occurs.
