Re: Library list for IFS folders?

["Charlie Ramsdale" <Charlie_Ramsdale@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is correct.  We have no problem with 'standard' libraries like
CGIDEV2, QSYS, QGPL, user libraries, etc.  Those are easily added to the
library list and we already have a little cl pgm that builds that
library list according to the environment entered.
It's the folders/directories that contain our cgi html code, xml files,
.csv files, txt files, etc that we need to look for in a selective
order...     
ex:  first look for and use the object in the 'dev' folders.. if not
found, then use the copy in the production folders. (for QA it would be
qa folders first and then production folders)... in other words... look
for and access an object in the same manner that using a library list
does. Look in the top library (path) first, and then in the second
library (path), etc.

That will change nothing with the root file system.

You can configure one library within your Apache configuration file:

SetEnv QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST "CGILIB"

Subject: [WEB400] Library list for IFS folders?


We have one system that shares 3 environments - dev, QA and production,
each with its own copy of data files and possibly different versions of
programs depending on active dev and testing (we use Turnover to
promote). Accessing the correct copy or the production copy of a program
or file is easy with the library list.  When a user runs a pgm he'll hit
the dev or qa version (depending on liblist), if there is no dev or qa
version, then it will eventually find the production version.  Now we're
adding CGI development with the HTML code in the IFS folders and we've
abruptly discovered that we know of no 'library list' functionality with
objects in the IFS folders.  We obviously don't want to hard code paths
and maintaining a soft version of paths to all objects for the 3
environments seems ludicrous.  Is there a 'library list' style access
for IFS folders that we're not aware of or maybe some other method that
we as noobies need to be aware of before we go too far in our current
development?

PS: We do have separate browser paths for the 3 environments so we know
which environ the user is running the program(s) from, but that limits
access to objects in that environment and it will not find an object in
the production environ when needed (unless the path is provided).
