Scanning support

With the IBM i operating system, you can scan integrated file system objects.

This support creates flexibility for users by allowing scans for various items; users decide when the scan should occur and what actions to take based on the results of their scans.

The two exit-points related to this support are:

  • QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_OPEN - Integrated File System Scan on Open Exit Program

    For this exit point, the integrated file system scan on open exit program is called to do scan processing when an integrated file system object is opened under certain conditions.

  • QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_CLOSE - Integrated File System Scan on Close Exit Program

    For this exit point, the integrated file system scan on close exit program is called to do scan processing when an integrated file system object is closed under certain conditions.

Note: Only objects in file systems that have been fully converted to *TYPE2 directories will be scanned.
