Shared Folder for iSeries and Windows

[Former Member]

Hi group,

may problem is the following:

I have serveral sap-systems which are located on iSeries and on windows environment. for dataexchange I need a "shared folder" which should be located on iSeries.

all could work well but the sap-system on windows runs as a service with userid sapservice<sid> and with this user it is not possible to get authorization from iseries (supports only userids of maximum length 10).

so please help to find a wellworking solution for shared folder problem.

kind regards in advance

Hello Helmut,

Would you consider QNTC? Basically create iSeries SAP users like <SID><nn> in Windows domain with same passwords, share a directory on Windows servers to those SAP users, then map them from QNTC on iSeries.

hallo victor,

thanks for your answer. unfortunately this does not solve my problem. my sap landscape is more complex.

there are several sap installations in diverent windows domains and some are on as/400 (and there is another windows domain) all are in different networks and are protected by firewall. furthermore there is a rule (maybe some exceptions are allowed) that there must not be qntc connections over these firewalls.

with a shared folder between a windows workstation in one network and an as/400 in another network it works fine. but as a mentioned first - there is the problem with the sapservice<sid> userid which is to long for as/400 environment. I think there must be a tricky solution (hope so).

kind regards

Hello Helmut,

You do have a complex landscape. And SAP recommends having all SAP systems installed in one Windows domain. But we have to deal with whatever we have now...

Not sure of exactly what you mean by "with a shared folder between a windows workstation in one network and an as/400 in another network it works fine", but if it works on one Windows workstation/server, you can share that directory to all SAP systems on Windows - using that workstation as kind of file server for interface. Assuming that File Sharing of Windows is allowed by firewalls, would it be possible?

Hi Helmut,

I don't know if that is OK with your policy, but perhaps you can secure that with a firewall what I describe now:

Use a GUEST user in the OpsNav and then even SAPserviceSID has authrization
