With InterForm400 you are not only getting a great product that does what it is intended to, but you also get a large bag of ‘goodies’ in the form of commands and tools in the APF3812 library, that may help you in areas, that you did not expect. In this and the coming months I will try to cover the most useful ones.

This month I will cover the Netserver commands in InterForm400. You can do the same via System i Navigator, but I think, that it is faster and easier to explain when using the equivalent commands below:

APF3812/ADDFILSHR       Used for sharing objects on the System i. It can e.g. be used for sharing a directory 
                        in the IFS.

APF3812/ADDPRTSHR       Shares a printer on the System i. When shared you can e.g. print to it from another 
                        platform.

APF3812/CHGNETSVRA      Changes the netserver name and domain of the System i.

APF3812/DSPNETSVRA      Displays the netserver name and domain name used for the System i.

APF3812/ENDNETSVR       Ends the netserver on the System i.

APF3812/RMVNETSHR       Removes a share of an object.
