Receive AFP resources from another system

When you receive Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) resource data from an operating system other than an iSeries server, you typically cannot change the resource. If you want to change the resource, it must be changed on the originating operating system and then resent to the iSeries™. Follow these steps to receive an AFP resource from another system:

Place the received resource in a data file.
Start an iSeries Navigator session.
Expand My Connections (or your active environment).
If you do not have an AFP Manager icon, install AFP Manager as follows: Right-click My Connections (or your active environment) and select Install Options then Selective Setup.
Expand Resources.
Right-click the appropriate resource type and select Import.
Specify the name of the source file and the name and location for the new resource to be created on the server.
