728 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
Microsoft Excel 2002. Files created with the new iSeries Access for Windows
Data Transfer file format can also be imported into iSeries Access for Web.
Extract Server Data is a new feature that can be used to retrieve information
about objects on the iSeries server and store those results in a database table.
Results can then be retrieved in a variety of ways. Object-specific information can
also be retrieved for the following objects types: directory entries, messages,
software fixes, software products, system pool, and user profiles.
The Files function for working with data in the IFS has been enhanced to display
the directory contents in the current browser window, and the Name, Size, Type,
and Modified column headers can now be sorted. If the user has the appropriate
OS/400 authority, the Browse Files and Browse NetServer File Share functions
can be edited (for example, authority, change object owner, change primary
group for object, change authorization list for object, and perform zip and unzip
operations).
A new message function has been added so that break messages can be sent to
iSeries workstations, and Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing
(Sametime) announcements can be sent to iSeries Access for Web Lotus Instant
Messaging and Web Conferencing users. See “IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and
Web Conferencing (5733-LST)” on page 668 for more information.
The My Folder function, which enables users to store the results of commands,
PDF output, etc., in their own and other iSeries Access for Web users folders,
has two new actions for folder items:
Copy: Allows a user to copy folder items to another user’s personal folder
Copy to file: Allows a user to copy the contents of the folder item to a file in
the IFS
For iSeries administrators, policies now exist to help them control the maximum
number of items or amount of disk space allowed for a user’s personal folder and
notify users when the number of items or total size reaches a percentage of the
maximum items allowed. Notifications can now be sent to a Lotus Instant
Messaging and Web Conferencing user name in addition to a configured e-mail
address.
A new functional category called “DownLoad” is now available for file distribution.
A downloadable file can be stored on the iSeries server and made available for
distribution through iSeries Access for Web. A set of management functions is
provided for updating and controlling acess to the downloadable files. The new
iSeries Access for Linux product is provided as a downloadable file.
Administrators can create other downloadable files (for example, a tailored
version of the iSeries Access for Windows product) for easy distribution to
Windows users.
