You said that I should "Automount OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14 at /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java and use that in your DDDEF."
AFAIK, Automount won't extract TARGET from /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java and use that to generate the HFS DSNAME OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14. If you know something that I don't, please enlighten me. I'd also appreciate any thoughts that you have about the solution that I have described. Automount is defined with a policy that is defined, by default, in /etc/auto.master. For each mount point that is managed by Automount, there is a line in the policy such as this: /service/java /etc/service_java.map The first thing on the line is the directory that is to be managed by Automount, the second is a map file telling Automount what to do when there is a reference to a subdirectory to the Automount managed directory. In my case, /etc/service_java.map looks like this: name * type HFS filesystem OMVS.<ucname>.JAVA14 mode rdrw duration 10 delay 10 This map tells Automount that the subdirectory of /service/java/ is to be converted to upper case (<ucname>) and used to construct the HFS DSNAME. Thus, if my DDDEF specifies /service/java/TARGET/usr/lpp/java, Automount will dynamically create a subdirectory of TARGET and mount OMVS.TARGET.JAVA14 at that directory. If you then look at /service/java/TARGET/ you will not find usr but J1.4 On Wed, 31 Aug 2005 19:39:23 -0300, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 08/30/2005 > at 02:11 PM, Tom Marchant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > >>AFAIK, it is not possible to do what you are suggesting because >>Automount does not work that way. > >Doesn't work what way? > >-- >>>In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 08/29/2005 >>> at 03:31 PM, Tom Marchant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: >>> >>< snip! > >>> >>>>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. >>> >>>Why would you want to?
