File considerations

The following are considerations for files.

Editing files containing > and < characters

Files edited with iSeries™ File List - Editor will have greater than (>) and less than (<) characters changed to '>' and '<' with the default configuration of WebSphere^® Portal. See the Cross site scripting topic for information on how to handle this.

Files not locked while editing

iSeries File List - Editor does not lock files while editing. Other users could edit a file while it is being edited in iSeries File List - Editor.

Document Library Services (QDLS) file system enrollment

A user must be enrolled in the system directory in order to access the Document Library Services (QDLS) file system with iSeries Access for Web. The steps needed to enroll a user are listed below. If the user has previously been enrolled or does not need access to the QDLS file system, these steps are not necessary. A user can still use the File function of iSeries Access for Web without having access to the QDLS file system.

Enter GO PCSTSK at the iSeries command prompt. This display screen is shown:
