Retrieving an AFP that was loaded with RESTYPE=NONE

[pankaj.puranik]

Hi

I received an AFP file from the composition team.
This AFP does not have embedded resources in it.
The composition team also provided a resource file separately that will be common across all AFPs.

I could load the AFP with RESTYPE=NONE option.
I am not sure how to configure CMOD to use the resource file provided so that it can be used during retrieval and further for conversion into AFP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Pankaj.

Hello Pankaj,

look at the RESLIB parameter for the ACIF Indexer: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.ir.doc/dodig101.htm

and maybe... http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.ir.doc/dodig098.htm

that should do the trick.

Since this seems like a good place to mention it...

When managing AFP resources, here's a few things to take into consideration:

• Use the RESLIB  parameter to point to your default library of AFP resources - like /usr/lpp/psf/reslib on AIX.
• Keep your custom resources organized.  I like to keep them in /home/archive/resources/<AGName>/<AppName>/<Version>.
• You can also store your custom User Exits in this directory structure!
• Use USERLIB parameters in ACIF to specify the directory above, so ACIF can find them.
• DO NOT put your custom resources in /usr/lpp/psf/ or /opt/ondemand/ -- they could get lost/overwritten during an upgrade or migration.

Good luck!
