<div><p>Learn about the file server, including file server programs and
|
||
|
|
how it works with the integrated file system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The integrated file system is a part of the base iSeries™ server operating system that
|
||
|
|
supports stream input/output and storage management, similar to personal computer
|
||
|
|
and UNIX<sup>®</sup> operating
|
||
|
|
systems. The integrated file system also integrates all information that is
|
||
|
|
stored on the iSeries server. iSeries servers
|
||
|
|
can support several different file systems with similar interfaces. A file
|
||
|
|
system allows users and applications to access specific segments of storage
|
||
|
|
that are organized as file, directory, library, and object logical units.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The file server allows clients to store and access information, such as
|
||
|
|
files and programs, located on the iSeries server. The file sever interfaces
|
||
|
|
with the integrated file system and allows clients to use their own interface
|
||
|
|
to interact with the file systems, rather than using the integrated file system
|
||
|
|
user interfaces and APIs. The file server can give clients access to all of
|
||
|
|
the iSeries file
|
||
|
|
systems or just the Document Library Services File System (QDLS), depending
|
||
|
|
on the support provided by the client product.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The key features of the integrated file system are the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Support for storing information in stream files, which are files that
|
||
|
|
contain long, continuous strings of data. These strings of data might be,
|
||
|
|
for example, the text of a document or the picture elements in a picture.
|
||
|
|
Documents that are stored in iSeries folders are stream files. Other examples
|
||
|
|
of stream files are PC files and the files in UNIX systems. The stream file support is
|
||
|
|
designed for efficient use in client/server applications.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A hierarchical directory structure that allows objects to be organized
|
||
|
|
like branches of a tree. To access an object, specify the path from the directories
|
||
|
|
to the object.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A common interface that allows users and applications to access stream
|
||
|
|
files, database files, documents, and other objects that are stored on the iSeries server.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For a list of iSeries file
|
||
|
|
systems, see the Work with file systems topic collection. For more information
|
||
|
|
about the integrated file system, see the Integrated file system topic collection.</p>
