Yes, Shmuel, I did read your reply. Even though I quoted my original post you either *still* didn't read it or you don't understand what I wrote.
Yes, I am free to use any path prefix that I choose, but I also want to use Automount to manage the mount of the HFS containing Java (and others) when I apply service. I use a naming convention that uses the same name in the mount point and the dsname. My DDDEF PATH looks like /service/java/TARGET/J1.4 and Automount has no problem mounting OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14 at /service/java/TARGET. The problem with Automount comes when AJVSCRPT is run and it expects the J1.4 directory that is in the root of the Java HFS to be located at -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp/java/. If you know a way that I can define Automount so that I can reference, for example, /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java/J1.4 and Automount will mount OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14 at /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java, I would be very interested in learning how to do it. Actually, I don't have a problem, because I have a solution, also proposed in my original post. I was looking for two things when I first posted. 1. Opinions about my proposed solution. 2. Other possible solutions. My solution, as originally posted, is to create a /usr/lpp/ directory structure in the root of the Java HFS and a symlink at /usr/lpp/java/ with a value of "../.." (without the quotes). This way, when Automount mounts OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14 at /service/java/TARGET/ AJVASCRPT is able to find /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java/J1.4. Opinions appreciated, Tom Marchant On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 09:48:46 -0300, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 08/28/2005 > at 01:18 PM, Tom Marchant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > >>I guess you didn't bother to read my original post, > >And I guess that you didn't read my response ;-) > >"If you use a naming convention that includes the target zone as part >of both the dsname and the mount point, then I don't see the problem." > >When you wrote -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp/java/J1.4, did you mean the >literal string "-PathPrefix-" or a prefix that you were free to >assign?
