Independent ASP QSYS.LIB

The independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system supports the IBM i library structure in independent auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) you create and define. This file system provides access to database files and all of the other IBM i object types that the library support manages in the independent ASPs.

In addition, it:

  • Supports all user interfaces and programming interfaces that operate on IBM i libraries and objects in those libraries in independent ASPs
  • Supports all programming languages and facilities that operate on database files
  • Provides extensive administrative support for managing IBM i objects
  • Supports stream I/O operations on physical file members, user spaces, and save files
