Specifying Fileshare Locations in the Catalog

To specify that a file is located on a Fileshare server, give the full pathname of the file prefixed by $$servername in Physical File when you create a new catalog entry using New on the ESMAC Catalog page. Use the conventions appropriate to the server. For example, the file data01.dat on a UNIX server would require a pathname similar to:

$$unixserver/usr/accounts/data01.dat

while the same file located on a mainframe would require a pathname similar to:

$$MAINFRAME\FILES.ACCOUNTS.DATA01
