Manage IBM i NetServer without Navigator

The GO NETS tool provides a menu to configure the IBM i NetServer and related file and print shares from your emulation session. It includes interfaces to the NetServer APIs, as well as a menu of commands. GO NETS is a user tool and is shipped in the QUSRTOOL library, under license program 57##SS1, option 7. Before the tool can be used, the menu must be created. To do so, follow the instructions in the next section.

Setting up GO NETS:

1. Create the target library. NETSRVCMD can be replaced with the library name of your choice.
   CRTLIB LIB(NETSRVCMD) TEXT(‘i5/OS NetServer menu and commands’)
   2. Expand the necessary files:
   CALL QUSRTOOL/UNPACKAGE PARM(‘*ALL ‘ 1)
   3. Create the installation program:
   CRTCLPGM NETSRVCMD/TZLSINST QUSRTOOL/QATTCL
   4. Call the installer to create the GO NETS menu:
   CALL NETSRVCMD/TZLSINST NETSRVCMD
   5. Add the new library to the library list:
   ADDLIBLE NETSRVCMD
   6. Display GO NETS menu:
   GO NETS

Using GO NETS

Select a menu item to display the prompter for the corresponding command.  Additional information is in member TZLSINFO in QUSRTOOL/QATTINFO.

The GO NETS Command line menu is provided AS-IS.   No assistance is available for changing or customizing it.
