Accessing using menus and displays

You can perform operations on files and other objects in the integrated file system by using a set of menus and displays provided by your system.

To display integrated file system menus:

  1. Sign on to your system.
  2. Press Enter to continue.
  3. From the main menu, select the Files, Libraries, and Folders option.
  4. From the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu, select the Integrated File System option.

From here, you can work with Directory commands, Object commands, or Security commands in the integrated file system, depending on your needs. However, if you know the CL command you will be using, you can type it at the command line at the bottom of the screen and press Enter, bypassing the menu of options.

Additionally, you can access the integrated file system from any menu on your system by performing the following steps:

  1. Type GO DATA on any command line to display the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu.
  2. Select Integrated file system.

To see a menu of Network File System commands, type GO CMDNFS on any command line. To see a menu of user-defined file system commands, type GO CMDUDFS on any command line.

From the integrated file system menus, you can request displays or commands on which you can do the following operations:

  • Create, convert, and remove a directory
  • Display and change the name of the current directory
  • Add, display, change, and remove object links
  • Copy, move, and rename objects
  • Check out and check in objects
  • Save (back up) and restore objects
  • Display and change object owners and user authorities
  • Display and change attributes of objects
  • Copy data between stream files and database file members
  • Create, delete, and display the status of user-defined file systems
  • Export file systems from a server
  • Mount and unmount file systems on a client

Some file systems do not support all of these operations.
