Moving files from the IFS to a Network Share
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 4:47 pm
Q.
I am trying to use the Move task to move files from the AS400 IFS to a Windows share and receive the error message:
[8098 - move file] com.linoma.dpa.util.SMBNetworkFile incompatible with com.linoma.dpa.util.LocalFile
Can I move files to a Network share?
A.
You cannot use the Move task to move an iSeries file from or to a network share.
The reason for this is that on an iSeries, the move command does not actually move any data, it only changes the path.
A work-around is to copy the files and then delete them from the source.
