Here is how the AS/400 is Setup

Libraries:
user id plus
S, D, and O
Yours: You get three libraries. They are your user id plus an S, D, and O. (If your user ID is 10 drop the last character.) S=Source, D=Data, O=Objects. That is just my naming convention, you can use them however you want. In your S library there are some source files. You are free to delete this source files and use what you want.
Note: Some users have found they can not create libraries, but they can rename the ones they have. If you know what you are doing you can get away with it without me having to know about it. Except an FTP exit program runs that only lets you FTP in/out of your libraries and IFS directory. So I need to change that if you want to FTP. If you do not know what you are doing you may not be able to sign back on.
Public:
QGPL Do not put anything in this library. If I find anything in it I will ether move it or delete it.
Public This is a public library that you can use to transfer objects/Source to other users. You put it in the library and they take it out. Warning: Anyone can get to this library and see what is in there. This is also the library that the FTP exit program defaults to, this can be changed, just e-mail me what library you want it set to.
   
Job Descriptions:
userid
QBATCH
There are two Job descriptions put in your O library. One is the same as your user ID and is used on your user profile to set up your library list, among other things. The other one is QBATCH and is the same as the one with your user ID, but it is needed because QBATCH is the default for the PDM defaults.
Job Queues
userid
You get 1 single threaded (One job at a time) job queue. The name of it is the same as your user ID.

Out Queues
userid
userid plus 2

You get 2 Out queues. The name of one of them is the same as your user ID, and is your default out queue. The other one is your user id plus a 2. If you do not know how to print from them see FAQ printing.
PDM Option File (QAUOOPT) You get your own copy of the PDM option file (QAUOOPT) in your S library.
IFS:
/home/userid
/home/userid/www
/home/userid/netdata
You have an IFS directory. It is /home/userid (replace userid with your user id). Under that are subdirectories. They are WWW and netdata. Netdata is used if you want to use netdata. You need to email us if you want to use Net.Data. WWW is used for webpages. The URL http://www.netshare400.com/~userid You do NOT have to email us to use this.
FTP exit program There is an FTP exit program that runs. It controls where you can upload/download to. It controls which FTP commands you can use. It sets the default library for FTP. It can log all FTP commands.
Mapping a network Drive. Yes you can map a drive on your PC to your IFS on the AS/400. Note: Some ISP block the ports (137 and 138) needed to map a network drive. Cable ISP's are known for this.

IBM (Licensed Programs)
Client access Client access is installed. If you are behind a firewall, client access may not work. It is because Client access uses a lot of ports and most firewalls do not have those ports open.
Websphere The AS/400 is to small to run websphere.
Java I know nothing about Java and would be interested in what others have to say about it on TS400.
   
   
   
   
   

 
AS/400 Commands (IBM)
CHGPRF CHGPRF is a lot like CHGUSRPRF execpt works on the the user profile that is running the command. This is an IBM command.
SNDMSG SNDBRKMSG Do not send messages to all work stations. Do not send messages to users you do not know.
You are better off emailing JRoss@Netshare400.com than sending a message to JRoss.
RSTOBJ See FAQ RSTOBJ
CRTLIB You can not create new libraries.
ADDDIRE You should not need to be added into Directory, but we are willing to listen to reason why you might need to be.
CHGPWD You are free to change your password to whatever the AS/400 will allow for passwords. You do not have to keep it the same as when you signed up.
   
   
 
AS/400 Commands (Special Non-IBM)
OWNER  
OWNER-L  
USERINFO This will display the same screen you get after you sign on. Place an X in the send statement field to have and email sent to the address on the screen. You can change the email address but it only changes for that one time. You can select the format of the email also. More then one format can be selected.
   
   
 
AS/400's (yes there are two)
TS400 This is the main Time-Share AS/400. This is the one that this page applied to.
Mall400 This is a test AS400. It has Version 5 Release 1 on it.
