View Full Version : SYMBOLIC LINKS

We are saving ".TIF" files on the IFS and creating a symbolic link to point to the selected file. When an operator selects a ".tif" file stored in the QDLS file system, a symbolic link is created for her in the root directory. EX: ADDLINK OBJ ('/QDLS/01036852.0/T20V6SM.TIF') NEWLINK(JHLNK.TIF) LNKTYPE(*SYMBOLIC). The directory containing the link object is a mapped drive from the 400 to the pc. Scenario: User #1 opens the file with NT's IMAGING and edits it--makes comments, highlights, etc.., then exits and saves the revised '.tif'. The save only applies to the link object--it does NOT follow the path back to the QDLS object and save there. Why isn't the original file T20V6SM.TIF updated in QDLS? Any help on "symbolic links" would be appreciated!

Looks like you created the symbolic link into the home directory of the user that typed ADDLNK, which might not be the "root" (/) directory.
