Network File System Name Mapping

NFS provides the ability to map PDS member names to workstation format consisting of the member name plus an extension. This helps workstation facilities, such as WorkFrame, that were designed to process workstation files with extensions. In order to use NFS name mapping, the server on the host must have the PTF for APAR #OW25973 installed.

The following extensions have special meaning within a WorkFrame project&colon.

CBL
COBOL source (input to the COBOL compiler)
CPY
COBOL copy file (used by the COBOL COPY statement)
OBJ
Object code (input to the linkage editor)
EXE
Load module (output of the linkage editor)
CMD
CLIST or REXX procedure
JCL
Job control language (JCL) on the host used for batch job submission
LST
Compilation or link edit listing
ADT
Compilation ADATA (SYSADATA)
PPR
Preprocessor output
OUT
Host job SYSOUT output

NFS Mapping Side Files

The association of member name and extension is specified in an NFS mapping side file. There might be an NFS default side file defined at your site, and there can also be optional user-defined side files. If no NFS default side file has been defined at your site, you must provide one if you want NFS name mapping. For each host drive, you can specify whether to use only the default side file or both a user-specified side file and the default side file. If both are used, specifications in the user-defined side file take precedence over specifications in the default side file. Check with your host system programmer to determine what is in the default side file. If the default side file meets your needs, you will get better performance if you don't specify any user-defined side files.

The Remote E/C/D Setup Wizard creates an NFS side file based on the information you enter in the Name Mapping panel. You can upload it to your host system if you prefer to use your own side file. See :link refid=nfs reftype=hd .NFS Mapping Side File Characteristics:elink. for more information about the content and data characteristics of the side file.
